Hard tail bridge height adjustment

My 2006 Marilyn has the old Vigier hardtail bridge. Is it possible to adjust the string height? I'd like to get the action on the higher frets a bit lower.

Here the manual ->

You just need to turn the post screws (use the biggest screwdriver you can to avoid damaging / chipping the posts, it'll help to loose strings to remove the tension).

Your pickup height needs to but raised.

Thank you for the reply. Also when was the interchangeable nut system introduced? This one looks glued. And can the black V logo go on the headstock when mine is just a decal?

Cant tell if the nut is cracked and they tried to fix it or what. Also about the logos?

The logo is not a transfer but a sticker made of metal .

My suggestion is to keep your guitar in its original state.
