Hi Guys
Yes, John, the airy layout is a sure way to have an airy sound by reducing parasitic capacitances. It also assures that you end up with an easy to service assembly
On the other hand, some assemblies will end up "tight" if there is a lot of circuitry or features packed into a relatively small space. This does not mean you cannot attain an open sound; rather, that you might have to be more careful with the layout of components and traces.
Laying out PCBs can be quite fun once you get over the hurdle of learning enough of the program quirks to do so. When I began learning how to use Eagle I also had to learn about the basic file management in Windows, so a double whammy. Fortunately, I've always had a whammy bar on my guitar...
