I think only you can decide if you should keep it or not. Some people don't really care about how cleanly something is built; they only care about its tone and playability. To wit, I've seen the work of a luthier who gets $10K for his guitars and has a quite long wait, yet they look like my young daughter did the gluing. True, the sound amazing and have great playability.

For me, since about 1/2 of my joy is in the beautiful woods and build execution in a finely crafted instrument, I probably would not be content with that unless there was some overarching other factor that would help me overlook it. That may be the case for you since you said you could not find what you wanted and so went custom.

You could buy a very nicely crafted acoustic uke with a pickup if you want to go electric. "Some dude" posted a 19" tenor with LR Baggs pickup in the marketplace. ;-)
