  1. Yea, the suggestion to keep and enjoy is my first thought also.
  2. I third it. Have preferred my own nails since it all began.
  3. Well done. I enjoyed that one.
  4. Yes, good one. I am quite familiar with her good sound as well. Thanks.
  5. Yea, guess I'll suspend all my endorsements.
  6. I'm kinda partial to him myself.
  7. And one vote for John Pearse 12s phos brz. I try everything and always come back to these on all my guitars, including two J-45s. *Give yourself and the guitar some time together. Good luck!
  8. So …………………………………………… I believe I'll just pass on the 10 day thing then as it's all just too subjective to step into any deeper.
  9. I ran the ToneRite at mid for 72 hours on two Gibsons mentioned early on here. I was cautious about the setting and hem-hawed about the results. I'll fire it up on high and let it go for ten days and see if I notice anything more conclusive. Have to pick out a guitar I'm willing to use as a tester first. Will probably use a Quilt Bird for this time around.
  10. I'm with you bbp on the real wood sub for Richlite. I can't bring myself to warm up to the 'innovation'.
  11. At risk of punishment etc. I agree. He's the grumpy old tongue in cheek guy no matter the guitar he is working to "make better". I enjoy his videos regularly. 'Course, I'm O&G myself and can appreciate good orneriness better than most.
  12. That's a 'well done' earner, Brad. I bet it sounds sweet.
  13. I think it's worth and you've earned a, well done.
  14. I have a 75 sq. shoulder Southern Jumbo 2x bracing and giant bridge plate ……….. but it sounds just fine and always has, so I've kept it. BUT! It's scary when you look inside the sound hole with a mirror and see all that extra wood. Also have a 78/79 The Paul I have hung onto cause it plays and sounds great. BUT! It's a basic slab and no more. Too late to let them go now anyway!
  15. ONLY because I said I would: Did ToneRite 72 hrs. each on Southern Jumbo and now on SJ -200 (adi/maple) . LOW SETTING, as in followed directions for tone! John Pearse PBs on both. 1. Both still sound like Gibson guitars. 2. Subjective all the way; it's not a miracle worker, but it did do a noticeable sweetening to my ears. 3. Low setting is the tone enhancer. Contrary to some thoughts that setting improved bass on both guitars also. 4. The SJ has held the plus results for two weeks anyway. Conclusions: 1. Low setting for tone enhancement. High for volume and brightness. I wouldn't go near the high setting. 2. Duration is the variable. 3. Convenient to use. 4. Worth having around at my house anyway. 5. As I said, it's not a miracle worker, but I do think there is something to it. 6. Recommend following the directions rather than just cranking it up to the high setting. 7. Is the ToneRite worth the price? That is up to the individual. * Take it easy on me men. I'm like really vulnerable!
  16. OP, not suggesting you buy one. But, since I actually do have access to one, I'll tell you what I think. Eh, seems to do no harm. I have an SJ an out of town pal plays whenever he visits. He can't get over how good it is sounding. Haven't told him I used a Tone-Rite on it since his last visit. But then I'm an advocate of torrefied tops also so that disqualifies my opinion here with many. Ask for one as a birthday present or something (worked for me a while back) and see what you think on a lesser instrument first. I just happen to be in process right now on an SJ-200 adi/maple with which I have never been overly pleased or taken the time to play in properly. So, I'll post what I think as to that guitar sometime after Monday 4/2/18. Seems obvious to me the low setting as well as realistic expectations is the common sense way to go on such a device, and on most mods or enhancements - re: pins, saddles, strings, Tone-Rites, less than single malt Scotch, etc.
  17. I've lived with such for several years and just press the guard edges back down each time I get the guitar out of the case.
