what's more important to you in an acoustic guitar, tone or character?
character not in how the thing looks, but type of sound. ex. an old guitar may not have a tone as good a new but has that vintage character. or a taylor sounds bright, n a gibson sounds mellow, but both have good tone...
I take a number of factors into account when I consider a guitar. Tone and character are certainly two of those, but I also consider road worthiness, ease of play, overall volume, range of sound, comfort while I am holding it, it's usefulness in disparate situations, and even the ease by which I can change strings and maintain it.
Of tone and character, I would rate character over tone because unless you have a plastic, fiberglass, or carbon graphite guitar, that tone is going to change. The character will change as well, but it will only deepen, seldom change. (unless there is a structural change in the instrument) I can affect the tone or compensate for it, but I really don't know many luthiers who claim that they can install or affect character in an instrument. Hope this helps.
