Hi guma, welcome to the forum.
The floating bridge on the Centura works much like the floating bridge on a mandolin. By moving the bridge up or down, you can theoretically adjust the intonation to a near perfect status. You can also move just one side of the bridge if your intonation is off with one or two strings.
Additionally, the little "stick" for lack of a better word, can be used to adjust the height of the guitars action without having to remove the saddle and sand it. By pushing the stick in, the saddle height (and hence the action) will be raised. By pulling the stick out the action will be lowered.
The negative side to all this is that if you remove all the strings like I do when changing strings, you have to mark the saddles position so you can reposition it properly when reinstalling the strings. I usually use blue painters tape for this.
Hope that helps. Post a picture when you get a chance, I'd love to see her.
