Well, the new nut did the trick. It sounds amazing, and it looks nice too. He evened out the spot that it sits in, so it's perfectly flush now. The only thing is that it's white and the rest of the 1778t is black. :p If I ever need to replace the saddle I'll have to get a white one too. Can you get just the saddle or do you have to replace the whole pickup thing too?

How can you tell? I remember it's like a gold cradle that holds the saddle, and in between the cradle and the saddle there's a metal piece. And the shims go under the cradle.

It's the only ovation I've ever had, so I dont know what others say, but the preamp says op30 if that makes a difference. Although, that is replacable, so it probably wouldn't matter, right?

Comments from a Newbie--
I have only taken apart two of my bridges/saddles...
One of them, the pickup and saddle was one piece (as far as I could tell).
The other, I lift the saddle out, and the pickup is a separate little bar with a wire coming out.

One is a Thin-line, the other is... The Other...
I'm guessing that is an OPP Saddle/Pup. (OPP-- Orleans Parish Prison?)

Well, that didn't help...

Hahaha. Thanks anyway. So if I can lift the saddle out easily then it's replaceable, and if I can't then it's one where you have to replace the whole thing?

If nuts were easily repaired, we would have fixed Clifford a long time ago......
