Why do I say that?
Because I can prefer guitar A to guitar B to guitar C one week, but then the next week, prefer B to C to A, then next week prefer C to A to B, etc.
Frankly, I think our perception of sound (and our memory of it) changes far more than the guitar itself does.

I've noticed that effect, but I don't think it's due to 'opening up', which I think is a gradual process over many years, rather than week to week.
Some days one or other of my guitars just doesn't 'do it' for me - the tone just isn't there or it's not feeling right. I'm pretty sure this is down to humidity (humidity in my playing room swings between 45% and 60% at the moment) and temperature fluctuations. I imagine these changes affect each guitar a little differently, so usually at least one it in the zone.
The really bad days are when none are really singing... Then I just don't play, otherwise I get paranoid that something's wrong and that great tone is gone forever...
