"When a new guitar like that reaches its destination and its already-low saddle is adjusted (by the music store techie) down even further in order to remedy the stiff action, there will be nothing left to adjust over the guitar's long future of progressive settling-in."
Yes, that is exactly what happened to me with a Recording King RO 227 Orchestra model that I bought from Elderly and which had a bad neck angle.
The action was OK but the saddle was extremely low, there was no room for sanding it further down in the future. More over, the strings angle with the bridge was very soft. I returned the guitar back. It was put again on sale.
Regarding CAs, I had five CAs in the past - the first one eight years ago !-
a Legacy, a Bluegrass Performer, two X, a GX. The only one that did not have any set up issue was the Bluegrass Performer.
I must say that, based on my personal experience, Rainsong appear to be much more consistent and well set up, with good neck angle. I had several Rainsong and never had a set up or neck angle problem.
