Ok what I see is too much oil on that board😅 I mean you are not supposed to soak it in oil, especially when it's a newer guitar like that, I think the saddle is quite low now which might be fine, but you definitely loose some vibration transfer when playing this low on an acoustic, most people want an acoustic to feel like their electric guitar but that's just not possible and doesn't make sense🤘🏻

Not so easy man! You must play every string at every fret to check if at full strenght picking the string doesen't whip against the fret. Any brand, metal kind and gauge of strings need different setup, and sometimes on some acoustic guitar is pratically impossible to have the perfect sound on each string, and needs to have bridge inclination modified or some frets sanded to make thoese lower.😜

@@markkurucar216 Ha ha, the longer people do things slightly wrong, the more we believe we are doing things okay. I am a suspect too. Example? Many people never even think about what tuning we use. It is darn equal temperament, because everybody has that, and many people do not even understand what it is. When the guitar player only plays a handful of chords, and when he plays all by himself or herself, well, you might consider cutting and shifting some frets. Again, no offense, probably you BOTH know such things. Of course you got a fretless guitar, too. Just like I do. You never hear fret buzz, on a fretless guitar. Setup can be lower, and the risk of buzz is back. But okay, what do you all need these frets for, anyway? Ever thought about that? Just asking, just asking. It's a wake up call, that's all. A violin owner would kill you, if you had the guts to install frets on the violin. Why is that? Huh? Maybe it is time for changing?

Are you suggesting that you hear a difference with trimmed strings? If it was even humanly possible to denote such a difference it wouldn’t benefit for any vibration to fizzle out through untrimmed strings. You want all vibration going through the bridge and nut. Any movement left past the nut, which is practically nil should go through the tuners.
