Bridge. I tried most Rainsongs before settling on the OM1000. It is the best of the bunch by a long shot. I was lucky enough to get the N1 solid neck before they stopped doing them, and with the optional LR Baggs electrics, it is my guitar of choice for gigging, especially plugged in. It is not only the smallest and lightest guitar I have, but is also the loudest. The clarity is stunning. Depends what you do really. It isn't a flat picking guitar to be fair, and if I flat picked more, I'd consider a dread from the same stable.

Like BWM, I can indulge myself these days and yes, as a nipper, it was a cheap Yamaha F series for folk clubs and cheap Yamaha Pacifica for the rock band. I bought a solid top, back & sides Jim Harley thirty years ago after saving up, (babies, mortgage....) and still have it to this day. Most of my collection has been over the last five years. I wouldn't gig with many of them, and wrap them in cotton wool a bit. Noodling guitars really. Perhaps local folk clubs, but never on stage.
