    Thanks so much rick! I can't wait to try mine out :)
  2. Re: Gilchrist Using The Tone Traveler On Mike Compton's Mandolin

    Just got back on here and it's a pretty big disappointment to see how far this has veered from its original intent. I'm hoping to get my unit tomorrow (based on the tracking) and I will use it for...

    That's super cool about the rumble strips! I think Mt. Fuji in japan does something similar :)

    I hadn't seen that video showing how it woke that guitar up. That's pretty impressive and I'd also...
  5. Re: Gilchrist Using The Tone Traveler On Mike Compton's Mandolin

    Haha thats good :) If you drive on the rumble strips at the right speeds it might change the pitch of the vibrations. I think having the vibrations in pitch with your instrument (like when you pluck...

    Hey john that's a really interesting study on the effects of a 60hz vibration on the body of a guitar. There's a big difference between that and what the tone traveler does. They claim the main...

    Just saw this on facebook, Mike Compton has a pic of his Gil in a stand with the tone traveler on it. It just got a new fingerboard and had the neck angle worked on by Steve Gilchrist himself (The...

    Re: Anyone got a ToneRite i could borrow?

    Hey Rileto, so you like the Tone Traveler? I've been on the fence about getting one but I saw they're on sale right now. It seems like they're doing a lot more for the instrument and like you I can...
