Re: Would you buy a polyester-finished Guild?
A gross and sloppy comparison would be like the difference between leaded crystal glass and plastic water bottles.
At the thicknesses at which the finishes are applied, I'm back to my original question, which is "not sure if human ears can hear it".
Like you, trying to be realistic and keep an open mind. The actual physics may say nitro's better, but, "At what magnitude are the differences actually perceivable?" might be a better question.
When we discussed this about a year ago, the point was made that nitro's crystalline structure is a better resonant mediium than cross-linked polymers, to try to put it in a nutshell.capnjuan said:Hi Al; what did you read that indicated 'nitro has better acoustic properties'? I'd be open to more evidence about nitro.adorshki said:... All that, and everything I've read indicates nitro has better acoustic properties when new, and WILL get better as it ages. Poly simply won't. It IS as it will always ever be. I will admit I'm open to more evidence about poly.
