Amen to that!
The guitar is playing pretty darn well now, and the neck is nice and straight.
Eventually I plan to bring it to a pro for some fine-tuning. I'd like to get a new nut cut for it with tighter string spacing - the replacement nut has the bottom E slot cut too far to the edge, and the string sometime flops off the edge of the fretboard at the first couple of frets if I'm not mindful. I'd also like to have the original frets dressed, because there is some buzzing in the higher registers. But these are all minor issues!
