If the bridge has an adjustment then use that. If not it is more difficult and depends on the desin of the bridge- it may be possible to remove the saddle (strip that strings press on) and reduce its size - can be tricky. If you over reduce there is a danger of getting string buzz on some frets which may need CAREFULLY sanding down if they are too high.

How do you lower the action on a acoustic guitar?
The action on most acoustics can only be lowerd by sanding down the saddle. The saddle is the white bit the strings go over on the body of the guitar. Don't try this unless you know what you are doing because you could make your guitar extremely difficuly to play. If the action is too high it could also mean that the neck needs some adjusting. Once again, get someone who knows what they are doing. The best thing you could do to save yourself a lot of heart ache is to take your guitar to the local music shop and tell them what you want. This is not an expensive thing you are asking for.
