Carey….yes. Since you’re playing with a perfectly flat bar, the bridge (hence string) profile should match so that all strings contact equally. Flat.

As Eric wrote, flat is the way to go.

Check out the link below to Beard's Resophonic Outfitters. There are a few different choices. Slotted, and ready to go. Or you can get them unslotted as well in case you are using fairly light strings on a roundneck Regal rather then the typical 16-56 set which could be risky for the neck if tuned to GBDGBD.

Might be a little tall and it could be necessary to do a little sanding to have adequate clearance under the palm rest on the coverplate.

I should have stated, it’s a biscuit bridge. I have a Replogle ordered, should be here tomorrow. I’ve currently got 13’s on it as I didn’t want to harm the neck @ GBDGBD. Thanks, guys, I’ll install it flat.

Yeah, telling us it's a biscuit bridge would have been a good idea. 

I don't think I'm alone in this - unless I were the actual owner, I can't remember hardly any model numbers of Asian  import resonators regardless of the brand, it's not like a Martin D-28 where almost anyone familiar with guitars knows what it is. The only one I can seem to remember from Regal is the squareneck RD-52 Black Lightning - and that's probably because of the Black Lightning part. 

Mike Replogle is a good guy. I've become casual friends with him over the years. When  Gibson appointed him to run OMI Dobro in Southern California after they purchased the company in 1993 he was doing some good things. When they shut it down and moved Dobro to Nashville in 1997 that was the beginning of the spiral that eventually pretty much drove the brand into the ground.

As you probably know, the biscuit cone, though certainly appealing, won't sound exactly like a spider cone

Well, if the damn thing wasn’t metal, I’d start it on fire… so, for “action” height, is it good practice to maintain the same height the length of the fretboard?

My practice guitar is a Regal Black Lightning spider bridge. Model RD 52. The saddle is to the eye level.

My Gretsch honey dipper is a biscuit bridge. The saddle is level to the eye.

Both are set up to play on your lap. Both modified by the late Frank Harlow. Were this way from the factory I think..

Thank you, tomkatb

Yep, level works well. Funny, my first National is a '36 Duolian that was a square neck originally, it was all I could afford and I wanted a round neck, so I had one built and put on it, 30 years ago! I kept the original neck and now I'm about to put it back on. So save all your parts.
