Hi mando gurus. Got a saga am-10 kit for Christmas and have it nearly ready for finishing. I have a nagging feeling though. When I lay a straight edge on the fretboard and put the bridge at 13 7/8” (which I’m told is the mando scale length - no instructions) the straight edge hits in the middle of the bridge, maybe 7-10mm lower than the top of the bridge which is at its lowest. I worry adding string tension will only make this worse.
Wondering if I should:
A) make a new bridge or modify the bridge so it’s lower.
B) remove the back, remove the neck and adjust the joint to add more neck angle? (tears)

What is your sage advice?
