Melody Music Shop, LLC is now offering TONERITE AGING on all of our Martin Acoustic Guitars!  Just let us know if you'd like it done or not and if so, how long you'd like it "aged" and we'll be happy to assist!  72 hours is recommended if you decide to do so!

From Tonerite:

"Vintage Tone, Now!It’s no secret that vintage instruments sound better. Tens of thousands of hours of play time alter the molecular structure of the wood fibers, aging the instrument and creating a richer, sweeter, and louder tone.The ToneRite accelerates this same play-in process by using a set of sub-sonic frequencies to simulate long term play.  Simply attach the ToneRite whenever you are not playing, and expect to hear a dramatic increase in resonance, balance, and range after only a week of use."

The ornate design and flash of the 42 Series adds panache to the classic tone of East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce scalloped X-braced top, and hand-fit dovetail neck joint. Open geared tuners, antique white binding, polished gloss finish and abalone pearl top inlay offers exquisite style with complex tone. Short scale and a sleek modified low-oval neck with narrow taper mean strumming and picking for hours in comfort and bliss.
