Oooooh, temptation. I sure love my Hybrid WS, and I bet this combo of Concert Series and Hybrid would be even better. Thanks!

Based on these posted pics, I quite like the look and especially the finish which appears to have a brushed nickel/pewter effect. If this is true in person as much as it appears in the photos, I'll be wanting to try one out at some point.

I'm quoting myself just to add that I think I'd like the headstock look/finish to match the body finish, which I quite like.

I am so pleased with my Parlor that I'm also planning to purchase the OM to go along with it.

The headstock finish does match the body, Tom

I suppose it complements in terms of color, but what I should have said is that the face of the headstock doesn't seem to exactly match the top of the guitar body. The headstock has visible CF whereas the top of the body has a pewter/brushed nickel looking finish, which I think the headstock should match exactly. At least this is the way it appears in the pics to me, and jmo. Do the back and sides match the headstock or top of the body? I hope the latter and that the entire guitar could have the same finish as the top.

The top of the headstock matches the back and sides. Only the top itself is different.

This series must be a real winner for Rainsong. They have got the best from all the other series, the things that have been most successful (according to my perception from forum posts), such as the 12 fretters and especially their unidirectional soundboard (which no one else does) and brought the price right down.
I love Blackbird guitars, but the price difference between these new Rainsong models and the Blackbirds is significant. The Rainsong parlor is nearly half the price of the the Savoy. I know that things are very different between the two models and the two companies, but the people who don't attend this forum frequently will look at price first and last. Emerald have cheaper models but sell in a different style. Rainsong are the company that are most likely to have guitars in shops for people to play and try. So I think this is a big move that will probably promote more conversion to CF from wood.

I always loved the Rainsong brand, and I believe that with this latest move they deserve a big applause. Can't wait to try the new OM.

Whats the difference between the hybrid parlor, and the regular parlor? I understand the hybrid has satin back and sides vs gloss, but otherwise are they pretty much identical? If i have played a parlor, can i expect the same with the hybrid?
