Hi! Two things you can do!. First, take the back plate off the guitar, and tighten the floating-bridge spring retaining screws (clockwise, into the body)!. This will both pull the strings tighter (raising their pitch) plus lower the bridge relative to the body!. Do this in small steps (important!), retuning as you go!. If the bridge is still too high after adjusting the springs as far as possible, you will need to add another spring!. The second technique is to lower the string saddles!. This may seem obvious, but many times the saddles are set initially too high (to avoid fret buzz) for players with a lighter touch!. Remember to adjust the intonation after you finish either procedure, since the bridge-to-nut distance will now be altered!. Best regards, DanaWww@Enter-QA@Com
