Non-torrefied for me please
This is becoming an increasingly recurring theme as I buy and then eventually sell guitars with baked tops. They seem to have a narrower cone of sound than the non-torrefied versions. You can hear it mostly in the upper mids and highs which are more subdued on the torrefied versions. Incidentally, this is precisely the reason I recently sold an otherwise wonderful Bourgeois Aged Tone D-Vintage. Torrefied (Aged Tone) top knocked down the upper mid bloom and vibrancy that I want to hear.
I no longer own ANY torrefied topped guitars and expect it will remain that way going forward.
