One last thing you should alway play for the tec.If they don't want you too walk away,if they don't want too hear what you have to say...walk away.Also always interview them,you need to know how they leaned to do what they know.Just learning from books and video doesn't always give enough info.I learned from 2 luthiers and a bunch of tech's over the years and I'm still learning.Glad that I'm old school.

It's by a fellow named Frank Ford, quite knowledgeable about guitars.

There is a TON OF INFO.
Indeed.
He died last December.
Frank was a virtual wellspring of information.

I'm not a tech/luthier but I've known some good ones in my time of playing guitar.  A tech who won't lower your action, etc, to your liking, is like a barber that gives you the haircut HE wants you to have instead of the one YOU want.  I know enough to know that your guitar isn't fixed if it's harder to play.  I recommend finding another tech that will work with you.  That Larrivee is a great guitar that should be an absolute joy to play.  Don't give up!  Consider the money you spent on the last tech part of the educational process and move on. 

Even after fully compensating the saddle, and doing all the other suggestions above (if needed), there is another intonation issue.  It deals wit Equal Temperament Tuning which (among other things) makes the major third sharp.  Other tuning systems, e.g., Just Tuning, fixes that and sounds more "in tune" than Equal Temperament, provided you don't change keys too far away from where you started.
