I essentially agree with Don and TJ, BUT I don't think that's the point, in the real world.

I have had a Rainsong OM for about 2 years now. I do maybe 85% of my total playing on it, even though I have several guitars, two of which are superb.

The point IS that: 1) the Rainsong sounds as good as any of my instruments except those two superb ones; and only slightly less good than those two, (plus which, it has a lot of volume for its size) and, 2) I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I can take it anywhere, in any temperature (that won't kill me outright anyway) and any humidity, in nothing but a cheap gigbag. Hell, it probably wouldn't care if I used no case at all. I can leave it out of the case, hanging on the wall, any time of the year. (Vermont has warm, damp summers, and cold, mostly dry - VERY dry if you use wood for part of your heat) winters.) I can take it to the wrong kind of party, and if someone vomits old beer on it, I just yell "BAR TOWEL" - unless it gets on the electronics. I don't have to kill anyone.

Last summer at Kamp I was playing it
