erictje, The desire to share with those who cannot afford a good guitar is commendable. We need more music, more kindness, generosity and philanthropy in this world. As to the idea of acquiring a stockpile of expensive tonewood, it could be done, if you have lots of cash floating around. Kevin's recommendation to start with inexpensive wood is a good one. "Master grade" is a label often biased toward cosmetic considerations, and not enough toward structural and sonic properties. Add to that the fact that each guitar maker seems to end up developing his or her own notion of what makes for "perfect" wood. Personally, before I spend $350 a set in long-term idea, I'd invest in something else. Heck, you can even commission a luthier to build a "give-away" guitar for you !!! There are plenty of good quality tops in the $40-100 range. I did purchase a batch of spruce from germanspruce.com (Rudolf Fuchs). It was of excellent quality.
