Maybe it is my old man hearing but I find no discernible difference with bone vs plastic or ebony etc. As for strings I prefer the uncoated ones, GHS are cheap and work well, sound great and they last too. Picks make a big difference, and technique the most.

Interesting post and well described results. If a well played in guitar "goes quiet" when not played for a while, won't the same thing happen when you use the Tonerite? If it takes a half hour for a well played in Guitar to wake up what will you do- put the Tonerite on it for a half hour before playing it? It takes a half hour for me to wake up my hands and wrists. Overall I do know the phenomenon we are all talking about- that of waking up, or playing in, the idea that things improve in short order , and over the long haul by playing, but that the same instruments can go dead, or quiet, or dull, again. You can't have one without the other it seems. It would be nice to think that there is a permanent improvement made by a Tonerite. I remain skeptical. My guitars sound better than I do most of the time and when they don't it is often weather changes that cause it. Keep up the experiments. best wishes.
