Too high for me, especially at the treble side, where I would be looking at about 16 to 1.8 mm, with 2.5 mm on the bass side. You still have some saddle left that you can lower, but maybe not enough if the treble side action is 3.0 mm. If you do lower the saddle, I would also cut ramps between the pin holes and the saddle to maintain a reasonable string break angle over the saddle.
If the worse comes to the worse, I would be thinking lap steel.

No problem to lower the saddle, the problem are the fret from 1 to 5 that are unbalanced and buzzing if i low the action....i try to adjust it...

One solution I have seen is to get the saddle very low, then dremel out troughs in the bridge in front of each string to get some clearance, with ramps behind the strings to get string break angle. I'm not recommending it, just saying.

I’ve tried different nut with different truss regulation and without touching the fret, I can go down to 0.120 (3mm) action at 12’ fret! Because when I go low 0.120 from saddle or from truss regulation tre first 5 frets in the low strings begin buzzering!
I have to go to a good Luther for lower the frets |
