I just bought a Mint 1987 ovation legend 1767 deep Bowl - 6 string Acoustic Electric
Not a scratch on it and looks like it was never played. No Fret wear at all.

No luthiers seem to know much about the Bridge on this guitar and
Whether under the bridge , inside the guitar - it is simply fanned bracing
Or some type of “Bridge Plate”

Ovation customer service mentioned there may or may not be Screws that need
To be “Snugged” on the inside of the bridge.

Also I want the Action lowered , as much as possible and this would involve the bridge saddle
That the strings sit on . Is there anything important to know about doing
That ? Are there some kind of Pins involved ? - it’s my understanding that
That saddle came stock with some Shims underneath it .

The Serial number inside is 363### - 6 digits

Would there be a ‘schematic’ anywhere of this legend 1767 bridge ?

Would it be possible to buy an old saddle like this one if the repair guy screws the current one Up ?

I would like to have this information to take to the luthier type guy who is going to lower the action
And it seems a lot of them don’t have a lot of knowledge about these guitars.

Thanks for any help .
