Ultimately this issue of opening is real a trivial matter. Either a guitar is good or not at the time you play it.
But this neurosciences memory thing begs the question about the vintage guitar and how great older guitars sound.... when I play them for the first time 30-50 years after they are built. Do we think they always sounded that way?
