I think dud or lemon are appropriate terms, so long as it is understood that the REASON such a guitar sounds that way to a certain player, could very well be due to a deliberate design concept. For reference see "pedro de miguel". Let me get clear, you don't like these because they are in your opinion too stiff and hard sounding? I mean in general. Not trying to start a fight, but stylistically you feel these are not your cup of tea because they are tight? Well, to me terms like "stiff" refer to the action and playability. Loose is a soft action guitar. Simply cuz how close the strings are to the frets over the neck. I still am totally in the dark about "pulsacion"...don't know what that is at all. I can tell by the sound (a different thing than playablility), I think, if the top is pretty thick or thin. Thin like a drum skin, the guitar is percussive , punchy, and bassy. Thick it seems like the sound is sort of "trapped" inside, yet mids might be just fine. Somewhere between these worlds is the perfect guitar. And finish thickness is a factor too. Regarding pedro miguel, as we discussed with mr. blackshear, taking some wood away (from top and braces) makes the guitar more percussive and responsive. (in one case it did, but I feel this to be a general idea). As some will say however, that is is not the intention of the builder and infact MANY players like the way those guitars are voiced. It is taste that's all. One guy's "dud" is another guy's treasure.
