I've priced a refret that includes a fretboard plane and it's about $200, but...I really don't want to mess with the guitar's mojo if you know what I mean. Over the years I've learned where it buzzes, and just work around that area.

Depending on the value of your guitar, a plane and refret might or might not be worthwhile, though if it's a beginner guitar and your friend'll do it for free, then maybe go for it.

The tinniness you're experiencing is probably due to the new nut and the fretjob on that one fret. Anytime you shave metal or wood, it'll change the sound of the guitar slightly; but maybe not enough to really make a big deal out of it.

But stripping the guitar's finish off and then redoing it completely -- yes, that would definitely change the sound of it; especially with the soundboard.

Hope this helps a little.
