Default Ann Wilson/Heart playing a Rainsong on Kimmel

Ann was playing a Rainsong last night on the Jimmey Kimmel show. Looked like a AJ body, not sure which model it was. Thought this may have been of interest after some of the other posts about big names playing CF guitars.

I thought it was Nancy Wilson who played guitar and Ann just sang.

I thought Ann owned a Rainsong JM 1000. But Nancy is the better player for sure.

Yeah, they both had acoustic guitars on, they did Band on the Run. Whoever their guitar player in the band is did most all the guitar work.

Ann was definitely "holding" a Rainsong jumbo. Even has a script A inlaid onto the headstock.

Seeing that clip, I think the black top RainSong makes a pretty cool "statement" on stage. It doesn't have to be traditional to have visual impact.

Whether or not Ann played last night, she can play. Watch a Lovemongers video. Or this:

They ought to be playing Rainsongs -- they live about 15 miles from the factory!

She's had that JM1000 for a while, think how a black ice would have looked!

I saw that too, go carbon fiber! Actually Ann doesn't need to play any guitar, with that incredible voice of hers. She can still wail.
