Subject: RE: Graphite guitars - what do ya'll think? From: Once Famous Date: 30 May 04 - 11:17 PM Well, I will never change my name to Taylor Rainsong. I've tried one. A lady brought one to our regular bluegrass jam not long ago. On it's own without an amp, a fairly unimpressive vibe. I would think that like an Ovation it would probably sound OK thru an amp, but for bluegrass, no soul. Give me wood that get's better with age. Aguitar that sounds like a tree. |
Subject: RE: Graphite guitars - what do ya'll think? From: Merritt Date: 31 May 04 - 01:58 AM I've played a couple of brands of graphite guitars, the Rainsong and those made by CA Guitar. I like 'em and it's oke with me if they're not wood, or only partially wood. They're just different. CA Guitars are cheaper than Rainsong. http://www.caguitars.com/ They've just come out with a ooo-sized guitar that I'd like to play. Rainsong has a graphite/wood combo parlor guitar out that is reasonably priced compared to their all-graphite guitars. The tops are graphtie combined with different side & back woods: maple, rosewood, or mahogany. You can see one here at Elderly Instruments: http://www.elderly.com/new_instruments/items/PA1000-MAP.htm - Merritt "It's all one big note." - Frank Zappa |
