I have A M/M Sterling and the bridge saddles are out of whack. Is there an easy way to get the saddle heights back into adjustment with the neck radius? I have heard that you can use a quarter placed under the 12th fret and adjust each string saddle so the string touches the quarter and that would give a fairly accurate reading of the neck radius. Any suggestions?

Music Man has a setup guide that you can access through ernieball.com. It provides a good starting point for general setups. Or if you can find a local luthier/technician, he/she can help you with setups.

I haven't heard about the quarter thing. Something else to consider is that the "right" string height/neck relief is not just ergonomic, but also dependent upon personal preferences and style of play.
