This is what I experience with my Les Paul guitars made in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Several sonic surpises have come and some of them gone. The younger ones among my guitars and basses partly or completely made of sapwood - some have maple fretboards, too - are going through audible changes. The older sapwood instruments of mine reached their steady states after twelve to fifteen years. Perhaps you have bought some of the guitars you mentioned new and played them for a longer period. As long as you left them stock and stayed with string brand and gauge, you may have a good impression of natural instrument aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I don't see any problems here... Pick the one you like the best and forget everything else. Both guitars will hold their value the same.. And as for which one will sound better in the future... Lol no one can tell you that.. Every guitar is different (as you should know by now).
