Hi,
I'm getting some annoying buzzing between frets 13 and 16 (this is very obvious when tapping technique is used not much while fingering). I used a fret rocker and it appears that frets 12 and 16 are high. Is there anyway of spot leveling these? I don't want to spend $200 to have it done by a Luthier. Is it possible since it's just 2 frets to handle it myself (novice). Any recommendations on how to go about doing it myself?
Could I use the neighboring frets as a guide (frets 11 and 13 for the 12th fret) and use a sanding block to bring the fret down a tad? I mean sand across the fretboard from high to low string. This is contrary to go nut to bridge.
