I don't think that's the case at all. I think what Ron is merely suggesting is it is a bit foolish to expect a guitar built sometimes thousands of miles away, shipped in god knows what conditions to a store in a completely different climate, where it might sit another 6 months or a year... to NOT need a bit of attention. I'd say 1 in 75 (once or twice a year) of ours will show up with some fret buzz at the customers house that it absolutely did not have when it left our shop. Hell sometimes a week after being strung up the first time we have to come back and do a complete level and crown... again.
This honestly is why I think Plek gets a bad wrap sometimes. A guitar plek'd in nashville, by a company that maybe doesn't really care to check it again after being strung up may need an additional level and crown once it settles in 6 months later or what not.
I did not intend to imply that Ron's statement had anything to do with my post other than reminding me of something that is almost always neglected in online discussions about the quality or conditions of instruments make it on shop floors and into the hands of customers. Sorry for the confusion.
