So..as I am getting acquainted with my new guitar, adjusting intonation, bridge height, pickup pole heights, etc...it seemed to me that the bridge set up was kinda funky, so I started google-image searches and came across the following:
MY 2002 Corona-made X160:

And this pic of a 90's Westerly-made X160 (from Dolphin Street):

There were other images I saw that were relatively the same, but this pic from Dolphin Street seemed to illustrate the setup I'm trying to describe:
Same kinda funky saddle-to-bridge set-up...but look at the spacers under my pickups! Sure, the spacers bring the pickups higher...but you have to raise the saddles so much higher for clearance anyway...so what's the point? Am I missing something?
(Sorry...you gotta blow-up the pics to see the bridge setups)
TX, is your Corona-made X160 like this?
