Rent a Tonerite

I know this is a very subjective point of contention on this forum. Just wondering if anyone knows where one could rent one? Thanks!

I am thinking of buying one just to rent. I figure. Can get $25.00 for 2 weeks.

One thing to consider before renting or buying one is where you live at this time of year. If you're in a cold climate and don't have a humidified room dedicated to your guitars you aren't going to want to leave them out of their cases for the two or more weeks you'll want to leave the Tonerite running on one. BTW, I own one and they do work. I live in Iowa though and will not use it this time of year with my house sitting at 25% humidity or lower.

Deal of the Day: You pay shipping both ways and agree to make a minimum $25 donation to the AGF and I'll loan you mine for a month.

win-win for all. PM me if you're interested.

Cheers,

Mark

An important point... The guitars need to be ideally hung on on a stand with minimal contact to maximize vibration. You can't do a Tonerite in a case.

FWIW they can be had on Ebay for around $100. I friend loaned me his and I decided that with the number of guitars I have I was just better off to buy one. In addition to the initial long treatments, it's helpful to have one around for a periodic "wake-up" session.
