Keep you guitar and have a second built they way you would like. There are alot of custom luthiers out there and the cost is often less than a factory built guitar. Some of the female builders in Canada built very very high quality guitars and are very resonable price wise. Contact any member of the Guild of American Luthiers or Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans ad they will be happy to help you find what you need. Just keep your old friend..... Dave
