I realize that Rainsong N2 is a modified U but I think few acoustic guitars are based on the U shape. I asked this question of this forum a while ago and no one could give me an another example. I think you see the U mostly used in electric guitars, Bolin predominately makes electrics, in fact I could not find an acoustic on his website. It certainly is in a different direction from Taylor, which I hold in high regard. I am not saying that it is a bad design and most would be very pleased with it. I own two guitars with it so it's not a deal breaker for me!! But it's far from the norm, or the Taylor approach, and I prefer the thinner profile necks of most of my collection. Would not be my choice for a universal neck.
