Once, I don't churn guitars. I'm holding on to a late '70s ovation legend mostly because my daughter has expressed interest.
My Martin OM-28 is a wonderful guitar, I've had for 4 years now that I'll move on eventually because I don't feel a need for two spruce>rosewood guitars, and my Santa Cruz OM runs circles around her.
Probably won't keep the maple body I've just finished building, she was always intended as a learning-to-build and experimental platform, I have better woods to build my "keeper" maple body from (quilt figured that I personally like better than flame figure, top is TBD). I plan to give away build #1 after a couple of years of playing - in.
I plan to complete another 3-5 builds, that list used to be smaller, however, I now have a source for black locust b&s sets, and have some apple wood boards originally cut for another purpose that I think are going to make a pretty fine and lively guitar. So I guess that counts as a second change of mind :-).
