Hey guys I'm new here, was looking for help on this really old parlor guitar I just got for recording someone. As you can see the action is high, but it doesn't have a truss rod or removable saddle that I can just sand down (also worried aout the break angle if I lower the ridge)...any recommendations? I thought about sanding down the bridge from the bottom and bending the tailpiece down a bit, but I really have no clue. Thanks for the help!

If you lower the height of the bridge, the tailpiece should follow it as the tension of the strings will pull it into the "shortest distance between two points"
