  1. Yes, the L-00 is a sweet guitar. I also have a J-50, which I love and it sounds great, but the L-00 is more comfortable to play due to my aging shoulders. You may want to go BoSoxBiker's route first and just have the frets leveled. That may do the trick. If that doesn't work, you may need to have the frets pulled and the fretboard leveled too. Good luck and let us know how it goes! Jeff
  2. I have a 2018 L-00 Standard that I purchased new in 2019. About a year ago, I started experiencing the same fret buzzing that you describe. The buzzing got worse when capoed at the 3rd fret or higher. I tried everything to fix it: new strings, adjust the truss rod, different gauge strings. replaced the original saddle (I installed abone saddle shortly after I purchased the guitar). Nothing worked. Then I ran a 6" scale across the frets and found the 15th fret to be slightly high. I also thought that it was in the area where it didn't matter. This summer I took it to a luthier and he confirmed that the high fret was a problem. The actual fretboard was high in that area, so his recommendation was to pull the lower frets, level the fretboard and install new frets. I had him do the repair and the buzzing is gone. Jeff
