Good advice! I guess I'm doing this for myself, but I do these kind of projects on a regular basis. I keep them a while, then usually sell them to make room for the next one, so I try to keep in mind what most people like in a guitar. My last project was a D-28 kit guitar that had been very poorly put together. I took it apart and put it back together in the hopes it would be a playable guitar, and sound OK. It turned out to be an absolute cannon! I got lucky that time. Thanks to everyone for their advice!
