A 14in bandsaw has served me very well for 20 years. Unless you are going to resaw your own stock it will pretty much do everything else including minimal resaw for things like neck blank. In fact I've even resawn up to 6in for back and sides on it but it's stressful. Doable but not practice.
The bandsaw was by far one of the best power tools I own and gets almost daily use.
I now have a monster bandsaw for resawing back and side sets which is great but not necessary under normal circumstances.
