Is the neck bowed? You shouldn't have any troubles with action.

Good god you want the bridge flush with the body?

Try shimming the neck as has been said.

if it helps at all, i just recently shimmed the neck on my Ibanez RG550... cut a piece from an old credit card for shim material, and it worked out perfectly, i have the perfect action i want, and all the range i could possibly ask for from my trem.

I just finished doing it, and you sir, saved me 60 dollars. The action is great and plays fast as ever. Thanks for helping out! Now I'm gonna toss a pair of dimarzios in it and have a blast heh.
