Where ya at boys? cat got your tongue?..................

It seems you've got an interesting product on the market. Congratulations. However, you also seem to be a complete horse's ass and I'll probably never buy anything from you.

mine is still sitting in its packaging. The times I have been home I have not had time to put it in a guitar. But there is a new amp at the house waiting for me, so I hope I get a whole day to play guitar soon.

Awesome !

For many that dread the change out and timely intonation, you can record the saddle positions from the front of the baseplate with your micrometer before disassembling and that will cut the time down to a 15 to 20 minute job without having to re intonate the guitar.

Your presentation and delivery mark you as untrustworthy and pretty douchebaggy. You do your product a disservice by representing it.
Remember - you can't miss what you don't know.

Has anyone compare this granite block to a tungsten block? Tungsten is suppose to be one of the densest material on earth and supposedly 4 times denser than titanium. The navy uses this material in their Phalanx guns projectiles to protect the aircraft carriers and ships from cruise missile etc. I'm in the process of buying 3 tungsten blocks until I saw this thread about the the granite block tests.

OK, here is basically the same stuff played with the same guitar/mic/settings, etc. except with the Stone Tone Block instead of the Ti block this time. The only difference in the recording process seems to be that the guitar is not exactly tuned the same:

Dirt and Clean clip of the guitar with the Stone Tone Block

BTW - When I was mixing this on both the heavy and the clean I had to bring the faders down a couple dbs on the tracks to match the volume on the original titanium block clips. So the guitar definitely gets louder with the Stone block... The clean sounds "chimey-er" to me as well.

Thoughts?

Also, here is the original clip of the Ti Block so you don't have to keep flipping pages to get back to it:

Thank you for taking the time to do this experiment. In my opinion, the granite block sound just weird. Acoustically, it does sound louder but I don't hear the mid or low end at all. The Ti clip sound better.

I hear that from so many folks who haven't tried the block but until they install one like Steve, then you will know as well.
Many attributes of this product can't be explained or shown on video or recordings.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, no problem, man. I dig the Stone block a lot, myself. I really dig the way it makes the guitar feel so alive. The Ti Floyd with the Stone block is now in my JD Charvel and the guitar sounds great. It's a cool product for me and I dig the chime on the clean part in the Stone clip I did. As always, people hear things differently...

Has anyone compare this granite block to a tungsten block? Tungsten is suppose to be one of the densest material on earth and supposedly 4 times denser than titanium. The navy uses this material in their Phalanx guns projectiles to protect the aircraft carriers and ships from cruise missile etc. I'm in the process of buying 3 tungsten blocks until I saw this thread about the the granite block tests.

No matter the mass or density of the metal blocks, the composition of the "man-made" tungsten block doesn't react to pressure and vibration the same way as the stone does. The reaction of the rock blocks under direct pressure and vibration are re-instituting the stored energies in which the granite was created billions a years ago and retains all its natural integrity. Granite is a very stabile material and captures all the dynamics and nuances of the players attack and is also the optimum transducer for any stringed instrument comprised of a bridge system..

I think they sound really good and hear a difference for sure but on first listen am leaning towards the titanium block. Both sound great regardless tho.

I know you think this is a good sales pitch, but most will see it as utter horse shit. I'm glad the stonetone blocks sound good though! Keep up the good work!
