In Reply to: sound quality versus aging of acoustic guitars posted by RLFOLEY on May 23, 2000 at 14:12:09:
The sound change is due to both the wood aging and playing. The more you play the more the wood "moves" (solid top guitars only !) laminated guitar woods don't change hardly at all. The change is gradual and you may not even notice it. As far as how long it takes, that depends on how much you play and the spruce top. (or cedar or mahogony) the guitar will usually take on a more richer sound, and get louder. I have a 1950's Martin and a 60's Gibson, and that has been my experience with both.
