My first Rainsong was one of Ted's Special "AGF" Shorties.

Bought Blind/On Faith based on reputation (Ted's and Rainsong's)

In spite of the fact that Phoenix Arid-zona ought to be a carbon fiber Mecca, nobody actually seems to carry them. That being said, a CF instrument obviously has significant appeal, given that I normally have to refill in case humidifiers every 2 weeks.

Here she is with my favorite guitar (1998 Engelmann/EIR Larrivee OM-03R)



For me, the Rainsong was a rather expensive purchase, even with Ted's most excellent pricing. I chose to get it without electronics, and with the RTF finish to be able to afford it.

The RTF finish is quite a bit noisier than I expected, so in retrospect I wish I had gone ahead and put out the extra for the gloss. Rainsong's new satin finish is NOT noisy, and feels similar to the satin finish on Larrivee's or Taylors.

Love those Shark inlays though.
