I have been very happy with my recent X20-12 Artisan acquisition in green, so if you want to go that way it is a winner too.

Not unusual, as every RainSong I've owned or ever seen has a bit of a sunken top. I've contacted RainSong about this and they said they'd look into it. *All you have to do is hold a RainSong sideways and sight across the top and you'll see the concave property I'm talking about, with the Unidirectional tops displaying it the most. At very best, a RainSong top will be almost flat across the top. Thanks for the Emerald thumbs-up!
*This concaveness or dishing of the guitar's top is likely why RainSong uses a 16-inch radius bridge-saddle in conjunction with their 20-inch radius fingerboard. I've brought up this slight concave property on AGF for years. Please understand that I'm likely the original RainSong fan boy on the now defunct MacNichol Carbon Guitar Forum, where I posted under the moniker RainDance. I have high respect for RainSong guitars and I'm not trying to mislead but only inform.
