Does the sound produced improve with the age of the guitar like it does with
a good violin?Judging by the number of guitar collectors I hear of, there must be a lot of
collectible instruments out there?
Hubby thinks that guitars "die" after a certain amount of playing, but that's
just his opinion.

after that rosin compatibility testing and chelating the rosin out of

Quoted message said:He thought that his Guild was dead before he had to sell it.
This was the guitar that got him through many years of learning and then
playing (while a teen) in the Detroit folk scene at coffeehouses like the Hinge
( U of M Dearborn now in Fairlane) and the Crystal Wind. So, it was very
well-used. Afterwards, he also did the bar scene in Detroit and played it many
nights a week.He picked up a violin at a garage sale and restored it. It was an old Hopf,
probably from Beethoven's time. This thing never had a great sound. Oh, one
time it did, when a violinist from the Colorado Symphony Orchestra played it.
The violin's inside was held together with patches from shirts and odd stuff,
and there was a message from some person who said "I played on it."From what I can tell, it really seems that guitars don't appreciate much, as
compared with fine pieces of furniture and other things.Quoted message said:`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
