New USA Ovation guitars used to come with 2 or 3 shims under the saddle. I am not sure about any new guitars that are being produced in Asia. stonebobbo Posted 2015-09-01 7:01 PM (#514937 - in reply to #514926) Subject: Re: Bridge Height Adjustment Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee There's no trick to taking out shims. Just loosen the strings, carefully lift out the saddle, and voila!, there are the shims. Just remember, removing or adding a shim has a 2x effect on string height.
