actually i have decided after a long conversation with a guitar guy i know, i just going to replace the guitar. from what he has told me if i want the sonds im looking for, mostly a thicker mid range and some beefier lows, i wont get that if i dont already have it. he even had me play a cheap fender acoustic and there was a pretty big difference. the upgrades/improvements are going to cost around $100 and 3-5 work hours (the money/ work hours dont mean much to me i love doing it) but i dont even have a cut on this one, and i keep getting wanteing to play higher up on the neck.

i will be keeping this guitar and playing it often, once i find the right strings, but i guess it will become the road guitar for when i go play in the park and stuff.
