Ned;
 Define "high quality". :-)

 The better the quality of material used in any rebuild the better the 
overall outcome will be. The question really is whether it is worth the extra 
cost 'usually' associated with "better quality". Said another way will the 
gain in tonal qualities equal the gain in expense??? Don't know the answer to 
this one...What kind of grand, i.e., make/model are we hypothetically 
speaking of?
