I've noticed that most of the high end Acoustic rooms in the better music stores have hardwood flooring. That coupled with all the acoustic guitars hanging on the walls make most guitars sound better than when you get them home. I took out the wall to wall carpet in my music room and installed a oak hardwood floor. The room is 18'x14' with 9' ceilings. It made big difference for the acoustics, but it's not as good for the electric guitars. I've since set up my electric rig in our much larger family room with carpet. I think the biggest problem with my electric rig was the room was to small.
