So remembering this post I proceeded to put a medium LoE and A on there.... that made a HUGE difference. It is almost gone. Extremely unforgiving of errors in finger placement vis a vis the fret, but maybe that will force me to try harder to play right.....

Just spent a long hour playing it and actually not focusing on "the problem" but on my playing/the music. I was enjoying myself. This is progress.

It is still, by far, the most comfortable instrument I own, or have ever played for that matter.
