Its strange that this should come up , a while ago i was reading about people examining and making instruments out of various old woods , and some of them came to the conclusion that old wood was not as good as what people previously thought for making instruments , as with time the minuscule chambers left within the wood itself, had with time , shrank and the wood therefore became less 'sonorous' as oppose to new wood , dried and cured properly would have a better tone ... of course this would depend on , the type of wood ... the storage it was in and how it was treated and cut .. some things i know of were made out of logs , that were found on the bottom of a lake , low oxygen environment , for 100 years more or less , and looked good , but weren't as spectacular as the expectations were.. Of course all this is so subjective that it probably means nothing at all , and a really good good Luther ...like , lets say Andy Culpepper, or maybe Ethan Deutsch ...who are obviously the best in the world , can make an instrument out of plywood and it will be as fine as any other .... can i have a free guitar now ???
