I customized one of my acoustic guitars, made in China with real woods, by putting a set of high quality Grover tuning gears on it. Now it stays in tune and sounds great, but there is a slight buzz on the upper frets....I am wondering if the neck tension is different now.

Answer
As long as the nut and bridge are the same, that shouldnt happen. i've never heard of tuning gears changing neck tension
To fix the buzz, get the saddle changed. get it done proffesionally, its a part you DONT wanna screw up.

how can I build a acoustic guitar from scratch?

I am in a engineering class and for a final project i want to build an acoustic guitar. I cant do it the normal way with glue so can i make a box and add a neck or something like that? Do you have any other ideas. We have a cnc machine and other machines i can cut wood.

Answer
You could try, but you wouldn't be very happy with the result.
Just bracing the face for good tone across the range of the instrument
would be an exercise in advanced acoustic engineering.
