Ever think to just buy a vintage guitar of you're after a vintage tone?
I'm in the cue at a few luthiers shops, so I'm in no position to judge you too harshly for getting back into the "build my dream guitar scenario"... Even though the Kraut experience was a bumpy one.
BUT, I agree that it's much harder to hit a moving tone target than to just decide if you like a guitar that exists already. I'm only shopping builders and creating guitars that don't exist or that I could never afford in the vintage world, like a Pre war 'bone or an AJ.
That slight negative aside...I know how exciting it is designing a build, and getting to know these talented craftsmen. So congrats!
Hope it works out well.
