    Martin’s recommended action above the twelfth fret is higher than some others - possibly to cover their arses against fret rattles. 

    As a rule, Martin guitars give of their best when played hard. i.e. Considerably more effort than required for electric guitar with light gauge strings.

    What is Martin's recommended action at 12th fret? I've not come across it.

    They have a tolerance range of 3/32” to 7/64” low e and 2/32” to 5/64” high e.
