Rainsongs; not as expensive as you might think. They list at about $3000, but as with Martins and the like, nobody pays that. Street price is around $1900. Assiduous Ebay watching got me one from the USA at $1200 second hand. (With provenance; I bought it from Delaney Bramlett). Not as much of a risk buying unplayed, as Rainsongs are very consistent from instrument to instrument. Everyone has their own ways of importing, and I have mine. All in all, a mint Rainsong WS1000 for about the price of a decent Takamine.
