I was playing my kit ES3 acoustically this morning and it struck me that the tone of the guitar has really improved to my ear over time. I also noticed that the minimal poly spray that I used seems to have really hardened up over the 2.5 years since building (it initially felt a bit soft). The strings are so old they should be beyond dead, so they cant be given the credit. The body seems more "tap" resonant as well, like an acoustic.
It really has me thinking that the both the timber and finish contained some moisture that has now dried out and seasoned, allowing this jazz box to really start resonating. Might be my imagination, but I'm happy :-)
Has anyone else had a similar experience with long term use?
