Robbie,
I should have warned you. This is a rather tough crowd when it comes to tone-rite. They want PROOF.

Re: Adirondack spruce
They are an excellent supplier. Their minimal grades, which I have purchased for 80 to 100 US Dollars are very nice. If you haven't worked with Adirondack top wood, it is typically very stiff (at least that I have gotten from this supplier). Also, this is the only shop that I get brace wood from. Th...

Re: Those Tonerite doobries
Well I went back and read the entire article. I'll accept the lack of detection by the scientific side of the study to a degree (IMO they are a little dismissive of the changes that were detected. "Uninteresting"? To who?). But that is not a stickle point with me. As a whole, I'll accept them. Instr...

Re: Those Tonerite doobries
Markus,
Let me ask you straightforward (and I'm not loading a question, just honestly curious).
Do you believe that guitars do not improve their tone over time (whether by playing or age)?

Re: Those Tonerite doobries
I got the jist of it. I personally don't care how many scientific studies they do that contradicts what I can hear or see with my own ears or eyes. I am not however an easy mojo believer, and am actually quite a skeptic on just about everything. But, I cannot deny improvements from the Tonerite and ...

Re: Those Tonerite doobries
You nay-sayers are implying that guitars do not "open up" with playing time?? Really?

Re: Tone complexity, "sweetness", vocabulary
Few guitars sound bad. Most guitars sound good. Some guitars sound better than most. A few....select few.. break the mold and are leaps and bounds better than all the rest. When you hear and play one of these freaks, you know it. What goes into it to make it this way is hard to define and even harde...

Re: Sitar-like open note?
A lack of neck relief can mimic a sitar like sound. I found this out on the last one I built.

Re: dying ebony fretboards
I have used the Fiebings dye, but did not care for the hue it left. I did not look natural to me. Like a freshly shined pair of black shoes. But this is just MO. I have come to like the look of African ebony just wiped real well with mineral oil.
