More than three years ago, Midchuck mentioned CA (Composite Acoustics) guitars. Since then they've retooled, built a new factory, recovered from Hurricane Katrina, begun shipping all new models and introduced new models.

These CA guitars are great. They stand up against top-drawer wooden instruments. The new GX-Performer is truly a wonderful guitar. The small Midwest guitar shop where I work has sold more GX-Performers (new in January) than any single model of any make of guitar in the last five years. People play these and just can't put them down.
