Today is exactly 1 year since I received my SCGC 000. This was my 75th B-day present to myself.
It has been in DADGAD tuning for the last year and has about 130 hours of playtime.
I have to say that I have not experienced a “Opening Up” difference in tone or voice…..but then the instrument was so very wonderful sounding when I recieved it……Richard Hoover is known for his use of very well aged woods so there may not be a whole lot of change in just a years time.
I am fortunate to have some very fine guitars in the Ramuda, some 30 years old, But “Guinness” is an exceptional sounding guitar….When strummed the sound seems to be held in the body for a bit of time then there is a continuous rush of audio delectability that is just unreal.
Very happy I am indeed.

Such a beautiful guitar – and it certainly doesn’t sound like it needs to “open up” – but the changes may be subtle, and slowly evolving, so slowly that you may not notice them. But one day, you might pick it up and suddenly realize that it sounds “better?” – not that anything has suddenly changed, except maybe your perception? ;-). Enjoy!!

Thanks Tad…As you had very welcome input into it’s design .
It really does seem to hold the majority of the sound wave in the Box for a time then the sound waves of each note flow like floodgate opened…. One can almost feel a pressure wave leaveing the soundhole . It is quite a combo of woods and ART.
Maybe Richard H. knows how to describe what I and others who have played “Guinness” have heard .
