Default Online CA or Rainsong dealer

Does anyone have experience purchasing a Composite Acoustics or Rainsong guitar from an online dealer? Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

Stan

Musiciansfriend.com is great. They have Rainsongs, but not Composite Acoustics (yet, although I am working on that.)

I purchased my guitar through MacNichol Guitars ~ Mandolins at http://www.macnichol.com/

It's a one man show and the guy is great to deal with. He also tends a carbon fiber guitar forum at http://carbonguitar.com/smf/index.php

I second Mike at MacNichol's. I bought my GXi from him.

I also recommend Danny at AcousticProMusician.com. I bought my Cargo from him.

Both great guys to deal with.

Hi:
Try Adirondack Guitar in Hudson, New York. I bought my Rainsong Om-1000 from them on site. Their prices are good and their integrity excellent and I think you'd have a good buying experience with them. And their prices--I repeat--are excellent.

I got my Rainsong WS-1000 from Mandolin Bros. Nothing but good things to say about them.

Just another thumbs up for MacNichol. Got a GXi and he gave a great price and great service with my follow up questions.

Default Fine Acoustics

You might also give a look at fineacoustics.com. They have quite a secection of CAs, and his price (quoted over the phone) for the GX with electronics was about $300 less than I found elsewhere.
