What else?

1) Fit and comfort (though you might say "playing fantastic" takes care of that).
2) Appearance certainly counts highly among many buyers. My position is that all are possible and can be achieved by a very good builder. Example: the Koa one.
3) And don't forget structural integrity. If a great guitar folds up or begins cracking prematurely, then it's not a great guitar.
