He went further than that, but I think that sums up his thoughts pretty well. Hopefully I'll have some final pro photos to share soon!

The guitar is in the back of the wood room enjoying some private time with a ToneRite.
In a few days Tim and I will hear a difference which has never failed us. The ToneRite tells the guitar woods they are no longer to act as individual trees but it's time to become close friends to make music for the rest of their existence. Long may they live.

Beautiful instrument Tim. I especially like the tasteful way you carried the black theme from the neck to the butt wedge. It really sets off the other wood in the instrument.

I have put a Tone-Rite on each of my guitars for many years, and the younger they are the more it helps! A few it has not made much difference, but some it has been quite dramatic. Yay for this little bit of technology. Lovely axe! Nice work, team... Paul
