Yes, guitars can often sound better over time, especially acoustic guitars. This phenomenon is often referred to as "aging" or "maturing" of the instrument. For acoustic guitars, the wood used in their construction can undergo changes as it ages, which can affect the instrument's tone. The vibrations from playing, exposure to environmental conditions like humidity and temperature, and simply the passage of time can all contribute to subtle changes in the wood's density and resonance. This can result in a richer, more resonant tone as the guitar ages. Electric guitars may also experience some tonal changes over time, though the effects may not be as pronounced as with acoustic guitars. Factors such as the aging of electronic components, including pickups and wiring, as well as changes in the guitar's setup and playability as it's broken in, can all contribute to subtle shifts in tone and feel. Additionally, a guitarist's playing style and technique can also evolve over time, which can influence how a guitar sounds and feels to them. read less

If it is a quality hand built guitar using high quality wood that is well maintained, yes, it will probably sound better over time; as the wood dries completely and remaining resins crystallize, the wood becomes harder & more resonant.
