Awesome looking guitar! If the neck isn't glued into place add wood to rase your fretboard. If it is then I'd have to agree with Maddog. All a tapered fretboard. The hight of your bridge gives you lots of room for strumming and picking.
Looks nice, I've looked at this for a bit and have what I think is an easy fix. Just leave the resonater as is and add a tapered fretboard to the neck. Then you can do away with the forward handle.
Uncle John...I added the forward handle to lower the action on the strings which sits really high because of the way I built the resonator. It can be played with or without the front handle, although you have to strum up on the neck with the front handle in place. I am keeping a lookout for a better/lower piece of hardware for the center of the resonator and will probably replace it when I do.
Love the looks of this one. If it plays well, It looks like it would be great fun to play. It looks like the strings are hitting the forward handle? ? Get this one tweaked into a player and you've got a winner.

Why not try a wood saddle painted the same white as the flag? Would not show much at all and might turn a great beauty into a great player.
I see what you mean. Yup, needs a lower bridge that still looks cool. Good wishes.
