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

The two posts are threaded with Fine fine threads so you won't see a lot of movement. But they do move!

What MWoody said... additionally, depending on the specific style bridge (Plastic Cover or solid metal) there may be a bridge angle adjustment as well. 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.
