As emirb said, you can adjust the string height from the bridge

I think you can use your hand but if not be very careful with a wrench you don't want to scratch your finish (beautiful guitar btw!).

It's hard to tell with pictures, but that low E might be too low. Raise it a bit and try again. Loosen the strings a bit before trying to increase bridge height.
Intonation is easy to adjust in that bridge too, just use a screwdriver on the small screw of the low E to move the saddle a bit, then try again, and repeat. Fixed bridges should be easy to adjust.

I have a C1 Classic with the same TonePros bridge. You need a screwdriver as Fran said... nothing more!

Are you saying I should try to raise the bridge by using the screwdriver or should I twist the bracket under it? I loosen the strings and then turn the wheel with my fingers ¡n my SG, which has a similar bridge. I guess yours works the same, as long as that bridge is like gibson's tune-o-matic, which is a very common bridge style. Edit: Just checked my SG again and they are not exactly the same. SG can only be twisted with fingers, as it has no place to use a screwdriver to raise the bridge, while yours does.
