I have not found this to be the case. What makes you think this? The one I have sounds great at about 1½ years old. To quote a luthier who first worked with this wood a couple years ago (Jeffrey Poss):
"The partial petrifaction of the sinker redwood adds hardness to the wood especially within the annular lines and gives this guitar a bright sound than a normal redwood topped guitar while still maintaining the bell like high tone characteristic of cedar top guitars yet with more of the complex characteristics of spruce. The bass has an unusually deep character that can only be described as dark chocolate."
I couldn't agree more...
