| if it has the old style brass and plastic bridge it mounts and adjusts at 3 points hence the screw in the back,
if it has the newer chrome or gold schaller bridge it only mounts at 2 points and the screw is unnecessary... just filling a hole.

helped me a lot understanding the construction.
@BruDev
at the 1) I see a detail I miss on my Breadwinner (or maybe I misunderstand what I see on your pic):
are the 6 saddles screwed from under the bridge plate there? |

I've seen seven different types of bridges for the solid body Ovations. |
