Arash -> RE: Why guitars sound better with age? (May 18 2013 8:50:54)

I am not professional, but i can say that this is not always the case. I have heard and played old guitars which sounded like pile of poo, stifled with a pillow, and new guitars which sounded amazingly "open" and ready to kick ass. But i guess if you take two guitars with exactly the same specifications and woods, one of them was played (and i mean regurarly played, not just put in a glass case in a museum) for some years and one is brand new and never played, then often times the older one sounds a bit better, the wood settled, opened up, etc. But there is also a lot of myth etc. involved in such discussions. It really depends on the guitar, the woods which were originally used, what is been done to the guitar during those years, etc. you never know. Just play the guitar and compare. Don't base your judgement on some written fancy describtions. play the thing. I even played a very old Archangel which i hated.
