    I have to agree.  The word "versatile" has to have limits of some kind.  I think a guitar that does the things I need it to do is "versatile" enough for me, because I'll make it do what I want.

    If you ask me to do the banjo in Theme From Deliverance well, I don't have a guitar for that so no, I'm not very versatile.

    I guess I don't ask my guitars and amps and pedals to do anything I don't do, so in lots of eyes I'm "limited".  I'm not.  I get paid for this, not that, that's why I can't/don't do that, I do this.

    yeesh that took too many words.

    i agree with rct, im not versatil either haha...so i thought about it a lot and i think i would have to go with my St Vincent signature

    I want to agree with you, but I have always played electric. I have always had acoustics in my arsenal, but I never played them enough for them to "open up".  Now that I have received a Martin for Christmas, I find myself in a new situation in the guitar world. Totally different world... I'm considering this ToneRite because I know I will never put the time in to " open it up". However to pay that price to use it once...

     

    Me too, i play more electric than acoustic, they only guitar i had long enough and played a lot was a beginners Alvarez i dont have anymore, that one did open up but i mean it was a beginner's guitar hehe

    Congrats on getting a Martin! i wonder if the putting the guitar near a loud speaker method that ppl talk about works, maybe you can try that and save money ! hehe

  3. I remember seeing a post about tonerite a few days ago, it was quite lengthy , and also i *think* i remember reading that tonerite didnt work on laminated guitars (??) might be wrong

    i havent tried this product, it would be an ok experiment, but im old skool and would prefer to play the guitar until it opens up naturally, but i think its ok if someone wants to accelerate this process

    That's the truth. Or even Jay Leno.  If you watch The Tonight Show now 'With Jimmy Fallon" -  you find 3/4 of the 'jokes' in his 'monologue'  are attacking Trump.  Old clips of Carson show how there is a wealth of comedic material out there that doesn't have to be political, let alone politically biased.  And - the jokes back then poked fun at things that today are off limits. PC has destroyed our ability to laugh at ourselves.   

     

    i miss Leno

    really???

    So it took this fellow 5 years of hosting this event to come to this realization??? Seems pretty disingenuous to me. Where was he three years ago??? Oh I know he was cashing those big checks the industry was paying him...... yes that same industry that he’s been a part of and accepting big paychecks from the last 6 years.

    I would had respected him more if he had said.....

    “I’ve been part of this machine that has marginalized and abused woman for years and I have allowed myself to become a candidate for the same mediocrity that has become an awful norm in this industry, so with that I will donate all the money I have received from this industry for abused women.”

     

    Up to today i didnt know him, less that he was a comedian and hosted the last 5 years of this event (not a big fan of movies or these type of events). Knowing this now, i can see and suspect that this was just the guy following a script, maybe they just want to spice things up, who knows. He is just cashing in. I mean i never have expected anything real or true to come from Hollywood, they are just "entertainment", i certainly know and get what you say that its an industry that has and have abused women, unfortunately this is not the only place/institution/etc where this happens to us women, we have to deal with it on a daily basis.  And kidblast is right about this polarization they are doing, i think they are realizing ppl are fed up (see all the riots in all parts of the world) they know better to keep us divided than united.

    Tributes are great! I have a first year (2010) 50s Tribute. It's such a great-sounding guitar.

    Bence.

    Yes! i used to have a 2013 50's tribute in vintage sunburst, had a very dark sound, i sold it because neck was big for my hands and i wanted to upgrade. But  i wont be selling my tribute!

    the same exists here,   uninformed as well as misinformed.  The media out lets are all biased in one degree or another.  people are getting their news from very unreliable sources, and listening to total absolute fools for guidance instead of taking some time to find out things for ones self.  There's definitely a problem going on

     

    Well yes, you have a point, they will just take that as the truth and dont go and investigate and form their own opinion

  8. Wow, guy was very direct but most of the stuff he said are the ugly truth..i didnt see this vid until now, cuz i dont like ppl being bully of others, so funny wise i didnt find it funny, but i did find it interesting

     

    edit. I understand no one wants someone else to tell us what to do, i dont like that either, but i have found ppl my generation (im 38) to be careless about the world affairs and environment, and be totally absorbed by their phone and tv. Maybe older folks or mature persons will find this dumb, because they are informed, but trust me that they are reaching out to persons how are totally clueless or careless (and that they dont care about forming their own opinion). Maybe things are different in the US, but here in Mexico, people are 99% uninformed.  And if by some actor they follow they gain interest in the environment or become interested in learning about their local politics, then im ok with that

  9. Sorry for your loss, early 90s classic are more sought after than other years, specially 1990-1994 ones, wish i had one

    Dont know what year would it be, usually those have a 5 digit serial number and the first digit would be the year. this one has 6 digits so i dont know, maybe its a 1990??
