 Hello Everyone. Should the top of my CC257 be completely flat?

Hello Everyone, nice to join this forum, I'm from the UK. Please forgive me if I'm not supposed to post a question this early or in this section, I'm happy to post elsewhere again later, if I'm braking any newbi rules.  I have an Ovation CC257 multi-hole, which I'm embarrassed to say I have neglected for about ten years, left out of its case, full string tension, variants of temperature, all that, I'm a very bad person...with regrets. I've now got the urge to play it again and probably not surprisingly I'm finding the action is rather high at the bridge end 6/7 mm at the 12th fret. The bridge is as low as it can go, just barely poking it's head above the wooden saddle, the nut could be lowered a little but the string clearance at the 1st fret is very low. I've put a straight edge across the body behind the bridge and there is a definite albeit slight raised area behind the bridge although inside the bracing seems fine. I don't want to spend money on a neck reset, I may get myself a new guitar soon anyway. I saw a YouTube video recently where a young guy took a Dremel to the bridge on his Ovation and lowered everything, I was horrified initially but now I'm wondering if that might be a way round my issue...Anyone got any advice? Best Regards Ovaraptor  | |||
