I still have that Grand Stick, and have no intention of letting it go. A few years ago, I picked up a pre-Peavey CA GX. It is a great guitar, with a big, beautiful tone. My only concern is the neck has a slim, electric profile- a wide nut, but it is very slim, which can make it uncomfortable to play for extended periods of time.
I hope to be able to try other CF guitars, but there are no dealers for Rainsong, Blackbird, Emerald, or any others in Richmond, VA that stock their instruments.
