Yes keep making guitars, but you should stick to traditional materials; spruce or cedar for the soundboard, cypress or rosewood for the back, cedar for the neck and ebony for the fingerboard. You are an engineer so you will only have time to make a few guitars, so make the best. Use the best materials and aim for excellent workmanship. Thats what I try to do myself, but i don't always succeed, of course. I only make a few guitars a year, so each one is special. I have found that its much easier to sell a guitar made from traditional materials, so you should pay the extra to import the right wood, if you can.
