I have noticed on my new Yamaha parlor that it it easy to mess up the tune of a lower string just by pressing. A string sounds OK when first fretted, but not when pressed to the wood, which has been my lifelong habit.
It made me think that new Yamaha frets are slightly higher than those on my old Martin. Is that good or bad? It is not worth paying to lower the frets. Would the frets be lower if I just bought a high end parlor like a Blueridge BR-371?
Do all high end guitars get a factory Plek setup "that scans, levels, and dresses your guitar's frets to a microscopic level of accuracy for ideal action with no loss of sustain, minimized fret buzz, and no fretting out when bending strings, plus complete consistency whether you're playing low or high on the neck."
