I've always been plagued with a bit of fret buzz on my ren. guitar and
   was looking at the belly frets as a culprit. Measuring fret 12 with my
   calipers I found a height of .95 mm. (Belly surface to top of the fret)
   Could I safely bring this down?
   The belly surface-to-midstring diameter is about 3.65mm.
   Would a goal of ~.6mm be better? Higher? Lower? Should I sand with a
   file or scrape with a blade?
   I think the builder was thinking to use a standard size fret (or
   minimal variation) throughout the neck but it doesn't seem to be
   working out.
