Even sometimes (often??) new guitars from factories require touch up fret work for this reason.

Thanks Ned. I used a credit card to check the height and there's at least one that is just a hair too high. I think it's the 17th and there might be another one too. If I lived closer to Dartmouth I'd drop into your shop.
BTW - I just checked out your website. Looks like you do some great work. (
