Also, chances are, you can put some upgrades to it. So, if it were me, I'd be very inclined to keep it, and upgrade it over time. At the end of the day, you'd have a great guitar.

In my humble opinion, as long as you have a good body and a stright neck, you have the base of a great guitar.

I agree. take the time to take this to a shop in your area and have them re-string it, set it up, and make sure everything is in good working order. Chances are this process was overlooked in the very beginning. Sounds like you have a great guitar, and wife. Best of luck and keep us posted on your journey.
