Take it from a guy who's kept similarly-defective instruments before - you'd just end up torturing yourself, thinking you'd find the time and energy to fix all its problems, while playing it less than your other, properly-made guitars.
That was me and my Eastwood Deerhoof model. It was just so cool looking that I kept wanting to sort it out. HUT the pickups were routed wrong, and the high E string missed the polepiece and was way too quiet, and the headstock angle left two of the strings digging into the wood behind the nut. I got a big discount from CME because of its issues, but I was never happy with it until the day I traded it away (in person, so the guy got to see it for all its flaws before walking away with it).
