You could try adjusting it yourself. Buy a lower bridge (the plastic or bone strip in the saddle that actually supports the strings) or sand/file down a similar bridge until you're sure that it's just a bit lower. Try the new bridge and if the guitar is unplayable, put a shim (strips of a business card, some kind of plastic, etc.) under the bridge, restring and try again. Repeat with more shims, one at a time, until the bridge height is suitable. But, if I were you, I'd get some feedback on this advice I've given you before you actually do it. If you're careful, I doubt that you'll mess up the guitar, and you'll always be able to go back to the original bridge, but I don't know if a business card is ideal material for shims (anyone here know?). Obviously, an expert repair and/or set-up is the way to go.
