How do you know if two years down the line you won't be forced, on your own accord, to smash it into bits? Well it's hard to know how the sound of the guitar will change but it certainly will be different to what it is new. It is, like this title suggests, a fine wine that simply matures with age. The wood gets tarnished with sunlight and the air does somehow deepen it's voice - it's like it smokes when your not around.
I might be talking gibberish but it makes sense to me. I own the Faith Venus electro/acoustic and I brought it for its looks. Costing little over the £300 mark and as long as the rusty strings that it fashioned in the shop sounded okay I took it.
My focus was on it's size. This guitar has a smaller body then most, although not the size of a travellers guitar, I got uncomfortable wrapping my arm around regular acoustics for long enduring practise sessions.
The rewarding aspect to holding onto one guitar for years is seeing it's character grow, like the wrinkles of wisdom on a persons face, the guitars marks and scratches are signs of its honesty and intent. It now has a preference.
