Several weeks ago I had the chance to try out a Blackbird OM along side several Rainsong models. All of them were excellent guitars and the OM definitely has a very unique vibe to it. It did sound just a tad bit more modern to me than the Rainsongs, but overall it played & sounded fantastic. I generally prefer the Gibson sound though so it wasn't quite my thing, but I'd still love to get a carbon guitar someday (most likely a Rainsong dread or jumbo).
My only gripes with the OM are with the rather thin neck profile and tall/narrow frets. Just not a combo I can get on with for a long period of time. Otherwise it's a very cool, innovative design.
