Judging by this photo, I'd be cautious. Looks like the action is high, and there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of saddle if it has to be taken down there. It's not the greatest photo, so it's hard to say.

Now I may be wrong, but I don’t think it’s that high. I think the angle makes it look higher. I would ask for a better shot of the action without the misleading angle

That's why I put the disclaimer in. It's a terrible photo. I'd want to see close-ups of the action at the 12th fret and the saddle, along with where a two foot straightedge lands on the bridge to be certain.

One is a dread and one is an F body and they're both F212s? What I see is "vintage vs. vintage." Not my cut of tea. 😐
