I really appreciate the collective input and wisdom. As previously mentioned, the neck angle etc is a concern as far as playability with the action lowered. I too, am now wondering if the "roundneck" experiment was deemed to be a failure on this guitar and the action height restored for lap style. Unwittingly, the instrument got passed along to me and now I may have a clunker.
I'll probably take the guitar to my luthier and have him do the aforementioned measurements and let him have the final say.
