Default Belated NGD photographs
The "new" Rainsong showed up last week, but I didn't actually get a chance to take any photographs until this weekend (when I had decent lighting)

I am again reminded of exactly how hard it is to take good photos of shiny things...

The sun does make the weave on the back POP though:

I have a Rainsong Ice 12 Fret. I take it everywhere and love it. Unfortunately it was dropped - Ouch, leaving a break on the bottom edge. Super Glue Saved the day. It still plays and sounds great as day 1!!

A wood guitar would have died!

Yeah, the previous owner added the carbon weave pickguard. Because... reasons.

I haven't decided whether or not to remove it.


Serial number range is 7800-7900. Anyone have an idea of when she was built?

The pickguard look kind of cool. As to age, if you contact Rainsong they can tell you when the guitar was made.

According to Dave at Rainsong she was completed on 13 October 2004.
