In 1969 I traded a Hummingbird with an easy action for a D-35 with a horrible action. Never heard about "luthiers". I missed the Hummingbird all these years, until recently I finally got the D-35 a perfect "setup".
So now the D-35 sings and plays like the old Hummingbird, but with a shaved bridge and sanded saddle, and the new cross picking, my pick is poking into the finish between the strings. This does not happen with my newer guitars whose strings are higher above the wood.
