Joined: June 2011 Posts: 41 Location: Massachusetts Hi - a couple of questions for the experts: Is the bridge height adjustable on the Viper? It doesn't appear that the individual brass saddles can be adjusted for height - is that correct? Those two big mounting screws on either side of the bridge, do they adjust the entire bridge up and down? I turned them a bit but it didn't seem to move the bridge much, if any. I didn't want to strip anything before I asked you folks. Thanks all, Bob MWoody Posted 2012-07-20 11:37 PM (#456892 - in reply to #456890) Subject: Re: Bridge height adjustment on Viper solid body?

If you have the plastic covered bridge, there will be a screw through the back of the guitar that adjusts the height of the back of the bridge setting the angle that the strings pass over the the saddles. The metal bridge that is etched Ovation across the back, does not have this. The bridge height is adjusted via the two mounting lugs.
