Some luthiers are happy to do the final setup (nut, bridge, bridge,
frets, action) with you in their workshop. If you have time to spend
some hours together, this can be very helpful in getting an instrument
that is easier to play for you. My local guitar maker invites me in
every once in a while during the making, to test things like neck
thickness and profile. But that's a rare luxury, as he lives within
walking distance.

Oh, and I could have mentioned changes to frets and solving minor
buzzes (which could also involve working on the fingerboard).
