Floyd Rose releases Stone Tone granite block

[Stone Tone Products]

I am still waiting for the price to come down, as we were told it would.

Floyd Rose put the blocks on sale for $110.50 rather than a price reduction.. We have a 2 week return policy if not satisfied with the products performance.

and you choose to come back and rant on your baseless claims every time... well, you are entertaining i'll give you that, or maybe you should apply for a job at the circus? I'm sure you'll do fine there..

Take good advice from mailman and move on kiddo, try to act your age not your shoe size, that may be a good start for you.

I'm not the one trying desperately to sell something. I'm just commenting on your continued lack of evidence that your product does what you say and after all this time, no convincing proof. How bout that!

Here is Ira Black @ 2014 winter Namm Floyd Rose booth testing Stonetone endorsed Scott Gailors parts mutt Charvel with low level output pick ups using a 37mm Rock Block..

Sales are great with dozens of folks who haven't needed the A - B comparison video to decide to purchase this product..
To some folks they need more assurance, all in good time those videos will arrive but until then have a listen to this.

Listen no offense but it is going to take a LOT more than that for me to spend over $100 on a new block
I have a extra large brass block now i bought from squid music and my No.1 charvel sounds every bit as good if not Better than what that charvel had going on in your vid above.
Not trying to be a smart ass just sayin, that i would need to hear the stone tone block
in the same guitar that had a large brass or titanium block(before and after).
So having said that if these stone tone blocks are now $110 and can be returned for up to 2 weeks i see no harm in buying one to try and run my own tests in my own guitar.
If hearing is believing that's the best bet

I am not impressed by any of the vids provided so far!

Ps, is there anything in the fine print that say no returns just because you felt these did not do what they claimed?

 

[charvelstrat81]

Wow, just checked out some of Ronny North's Youtube stuff. I'd pay him not to use my products. What a poser!

 

[charvelstrat81]

Chris Poland is a huge influence to me.
Not that I will buy everything he gives the "OK" to....
but I have nothing else to lose. If I never try it...its a automatic 'nope'....
I like to check it all out at.

I feel that way about EVH

 

[charvelstrat81]

WELL IN THIS VID THE GUITAR WITHOUT THE STONE BLOCK(jackson strat) SOUNDED BETTER???
I thought the jackson had more chunk and punch and it was the one with a regular block.
granted there is not much actual playing but from what i am hearing the stock block sounded better!

I find it hard to believe that a guy after people's money would slam potential customers publicly in the way he does. I would not buy shit from this guy just based on his responses to potential customers who are asking for better demos. It's called business etiquite.

He is way too easy to troll.

Also, cats can't write.

What is the Stone Tone Rock Block? These patented sustain blocks are made of granite, and are designed to enhance and strengthen the sound of your tremolo-equipped instrument across the entire audio spectrum. After installing a Stone Tone block, your guitar’s clarity, sustain, and overall tone will be improved equally in all ranges of the fret board—you can’t argue with the results of this upgrade; top tier players such as Ira Black, Jeff Loomis, Chris Poland, Dave Reffett and Scott Gailor all stand behind it.

No there isn't, but floyd had announced that at the time they initiated the rock blocks into their product lines and on their FB like page back nov 22nd 2014. Regardless, after 400 plus sold we haven't had any one issue to date. So if that situation would arise, I'd honor the refund as well as Floyd Rose. here is their main number if you want to check. 732-919-3444 besides, the warranty is lifetime since the stone won't crack break etc. under normal handling prior to installation.

You tube is just that a compressed entity and only shows a hint of the products capability compared to being in your hands. Best bet is to try one on your guitar. There have been many many skeptical players who have become sold once they bought one. These folks realized they we're wrong to slam it until they tried it. So no matter who said this or that right or wrong.. when it is on your guitar and you're hearing and feeling the vibe, that's all you'll need to realize what's going on as all the others have to date. Gear cost money.. for what this product does say compared to a pick up switch out, that's much more costly, this is the ticket which many top tier players can attest.

Thanks for taking the time to inquire about Stone Tone® Products.

I know two people who've done business with Stonetone. The first sent in his FR to have it fitted for his Ibanez RG and when Stonetone decided they couldn't figure out how to mount it, they refused to send it back until "they came up with a solution". The second had his work completed but ultimately tone was diminished greatly. Both people were in a position to help Stonetone's sales and so, wisely, Stonetone offered their services free of charge. Unwisely, when Stonetone was called on these issues, the owner's tone (pun intended) changed from bright to downright ugly. Ok, so everyone starting out has hiccups but how you overcome them will determine how well you do. Long story short, I hear Stonetone is not having a great NAMM experience.

Sold 400 units with no problems?
We only have a few here who sent the guitar to YOUR shop for an install and both had problems. Care to try again?

I completely agree about YOUTUBE. I never would use a vid on there to solely base my opinion on purchasing a product.
i was just saying that in that one video i prefer the jackson with the stock block.
And yes there is no doubt that trying one in your own guitar in person is the only real way to ever know and as soon as i recoup i few bucks from a recent amp and guitar buying binge i went on
i will definitely buy one to test run.
I will know within 30 secs to a minute if my main charvel has improved or not.

You must be referring to Kevin Kyle and Vince Barone of the group room on FB called G.A.S.

I met both these two artists in their group room to discuss this new product back late summer/fall 2013 prior to engaging with Floyd Rose on Nov. 22nd 2013.

Kevin was sent a FREE block to try since Scott Gailor and others who knew him mentioned to have him try one. So, I did.
A month later he hadn't installed yet since his tech was busy and Kevin is not a tech only a guitar player as he stated many times.
So one evening he installed it and the guitar had a nasty buzz so he texted me @ 1 a.m in the morning to rant than inquire and so I had scott and ronny who was up @ that time to converse with him to resolve his issue and the result was he has a single grounded guitar which the rock block interupted the completion of the ground circuit to the claw since that was the only ground. Initially he said it was installed on his jackson dinky.. then he spews and rants all untruths to offset his inability to install a block or capable to do any tech work as he stated many times over so then his story grew to where the install was on his skull n bones guitar and it blew up fried everything caught on fire bla bla... LOL.. what a joker.. and that's where that went..





Vince Barone wanted to have his prestige Ibanez block (pictured above) modded and at that time I hadn't made one for that model since the hardware is ridiculously small requiring 6) #4 machine mounting hardware. I also said I would hook him up for free to get some guys rocking this new product being so new... I researched and bought 100 pcs. and was sent wrong thread count etc. told him on the phone after a month of searching, he became Irate and disrespectful and demanded I return that day.. I told him I'll send it when I'm ready since everything was taken apart and I didn't appreciate his crass attitude which will be within a week from this call. Of course he didn't want to hear that since I had already made the block and was 3/4 the way done so far and ready to make my own inserts since this hardware was not available for purchase of the many sources I researched. So again, he ranted many untruths which only led to more interest of other thru FB that led to more sales for Stone Tone® yet he got the complete tremolo back in neat order as I stated to him just like it was sent to me and then Kevin sent me the free block back I sent him once Vince said he had received his tremolo back with no issues.

They both are story tellers and I am not going to re visit that incident but you wanted to know so there it is.

These two incidents are not a part of my prior post mentioning 400 + satisfied customers to date without one single issue.

And for the record my Namm experience on the main floor of Winter Namm 2014 and 2015 was EPIC. I conversed with George Lynch, Chris Poland, Robby Palagari, Greg Howe, Eddie Ojeda, Andy Sneap, Keith Merrow, Jeff Loomis, Ira Black, Dave Reffett and many many more..
So again, you want to believe story tellers go ahead, yet we are doing great and now have 19 different types a upgrades for all types a manufactures tremolos.
