Yes, very thought provokeing, I'm by no means an expert in anything other than eating, but I somehow find that placing your guitar next to some speakers is magically going to improve the over-all sound a little hard to swallow. Yes I believe a solid top sounds better, but my line of thinking leans towards that of borrowing someone elses car for the first time, sure it handles different than what your accustomed to, but givin time it becomes comfortable to you. Same with giutars.. if you like it and stay with it, it is going to feel and play much better than something new to you.
Just my thoughts, but what do I know
