StevieMar - I have owned a CA OX - Raw since they were first released. I have always referred to it as the swiss army knife version of a guitar. A very nice general use guitar. Like most of the original CA's a nice warm almost woody tone. The sustain is amazing. I have toyed with the idea of selling it but have yet to part with it.
The pre-Peavy Raw versions were not always cosmetically perfect, but then they sold at the old Cargo like prices of about $900 new. All in all a good value guitar.
I also have an Emerald but it is the original X-5 travel guitar which is no longer in the Emerald lineup. Its a woody and I do love it, though not everyone cup of tea.
I still think the CA - OX is well worth considering for anyone looking at an all around carbon guitars. There just has not been as much CA love on the forums as there used to be. They used to have a stronger presence on the MacNichol forum but with its passing interests have changed.
