Old Wood vs. New Wood in Guitars?

Question

I was just wondering if the age of the wood in acoustic guitars change the sound quality of the guitar.

Answer 1

Absolutely. Most luthiers age their wood to begin with, and then the completed instrument continues to age, often sounding better and better as time goes by. For example, I prefer a spruce top on my acoustics because as it ages, it seems to sound richer and deeper, which is ultimately what I prefer.
