I bought the Jumbo Rainsong later from a fellow AGF'er....

I also have two Composite Acoustic dreads, which sound warmer but not as clear as the Rainsong. Nice strummers though.

Nice. So you're happy with the sound of the jumbo. Was it much of a trade off moving to a larger guitar?

Being a bedroom player, the size of the jumbo isn't really an issue sitting, though I suspect it might be a beast playing standing.

Did you see the Rainsong dreadnought in the AGF classifieds?

As said the Jumbo is easy sitting, shallow waist I think is more comfortable than a Dred. Standing it's just a beast, can't really do anymore at 63.

I need to sling one on and try it.

Killer as you grow older is the thickness, your arms rest on the guitar and the leverage kills your back. Bought a thin guitar arms are in front no issue.

Sorry, looks like it was sold. They do pop up from time to time. I bought both of my CA dreads from the AGF classifieds...
