Thread Name: Rainsong guitars
Subject: RE: Rainsong guitars
I've played two Rainsong guitars. And while they did the job there is nothing about them that would make me seek one out and buy it. They both had nice actions but the edges of the finger boards were almost sharp. Uncomfortable to play some chords on. Acoustically I found them to be a little brittle sounding. The only warmth I found was when I equalized the electronic mix to be so. Their appearnce wasn't to my taste so it is unfair to critique them beyond that.

I have friends who use them on stage and feel that they are fine stage instruments. But for the price I'll stick with wood for the now. Eventually the composite instruments will be the only way to go
but for now I won't hasten the departure of wood.
