That's one happy RIC acoustic owner!! Thanks for the mini-concert Jesus. That sure sounds outstanding!!

Wow - what a beautiful tone!!! It sounds absolutely spot-on for The Beatles (or for anything which requires a bright, melodic jangle) - really, really lovely!
Thankyou very much for posting the video, and enjoy your amazing new guitar!

Jesus' video does show off very well, the crispness and precision of the sound. A good mike and good playback medium would also let you hear the bottom end, which is also bold and crisp without a trace of mush. I highly recommend the Tone Rite to those reading this, who've purchased a Rick acoustic from me. You will notice how much the guitar opens up after a week or two with the TR fitted.

The guitar sounds better live than in the video, the video not capture the bass side sound well. Anyway sounds for me (I don't know Paul think) more better than Rics factorys you can see in you tube. With that guitar you can play any Style of Music, not only Byrds and Beatles. This guitar is not only jingle-jangle sound (even is jingle-jangle his father )
Compare with the guitar factory of Darren and other in you tube video sounds IMO plenty of botton, but you can play in The trebble zone if you want. The winner is PW creation... iMO
I believe the Tone Rite helps to open the guitar but don't convert a bad guitar in a fantastic guitar

Stunning guitar Paul. Congrats Jesus!

... well said, and a perfect avatar ! Congrats, Jesus ! These 700 C / 12 's from Paul sound incredible good, will try that Tone Rite thing on my baby.

A new twist for the solid state light show conversions. Onboard battery, push/pull blend pot for lightning on/off. No more umbilical cable. Battery life is good (several hours),time to change batteries about 16 bars or less...This one has UV LEDs in place of the yellows, and cyan in place of blues. No need to adjust sensitivity any more, as the sensitivity range is wider and now it's fine tuned to the normal range of playing dynamics.

Cool!

UV LEDs? Ultra-violet? Does the plastic cover fluoresce?

I knew a guy in the early '70s who had a little compartment like that built into his axe and it held rolling papers and "oregano"!!!

Oh, was he Italian?

Then he'd need oregano AND basil...

As the Macca calls them: "herbal jazz cigarettes".
