<p>Allen , I think its advisable to string it up and tune it , then measure the action , as the cone will probably depress around the edge . Also you may be able to adjust the neck angle if you have the internal neck extension with shims to the back.</p>

<p>Hello Mike</p>
<p>Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. This would be the lower action type. I have built several guitars but this is my first shot at a resonator. I just wanted to be sure I was going down the right path. Everything is new here so I have plenty of saddle material. Thanks again.</p>
<p>Happy Trails</p>

<p>Are you setting this up tall for slide or lowered for "regular" picking-playing?. Either way, is there any reason to not just lower the wooden saddle itself? </p>
<p>It sounds like you may already have a saddle that's almost as short as the walls of the slot will allow? If that's the case then you can lower the wall height, as long as there's enough slot depth to keep the saddle (or, "saddles" as there's probably a pair of them) solid and not prone to tipping.</p>
<p>If that ends-up…</p>

<p>If that ends-up being your answer, then that particular spider assembly will probably be "forever-more" dedicated to the low setup as you couldn't easily add wall height.</p>
