Do we tend to forget about older models?
Just put some new strings on my Rainsong JM-1000 BI and wonder why it's never talked about. For one, a poll I took says 80% here are fingerstylists. Thus smaller bodied guitars may be in order. But for us flatpickers this is a great guitar, Jumbos are really more comfortable on the knee given the skinny waist than many Dreds. And this just booms and is light as a feather.

BTW, the first Black Ice Jumbo was actually built for me, I thought all that real-estate would make a great canvas for the Black Ice pattern. After seeing the guitar on our site, other dealers agreed, so it became a standard option on all body sizes, not just the WS. I was also the first to order a Jumbo with the NS 12-fret neck, it's an amazing combo, tons of fun to play. Love the RS Jumbo.

Steve & Ted,
Have to agree with both of you. Having gone through a bunch of CF and wood guitars ... to many to mention... my jm1000&3000 are the only ones that have remained. This all started with the quest for a travel guitar that gives me the same goosebumps by JMs do on first strum. Strangely enough I still do not have a travel guitar that stuck with me after owing the BB, x5&7, KM, little Martin, cargo and baby Taylor. I heard that there were changes to the top of the now renamed McPherson touring that reduce the mid scoop... perhaps another run at that or a Savoy... it was sure sweet when played at the BB Nest earlier this year and just a tad $$$ more the the touring... the quest continues but my JMs are the foundation of my Guitar playing!!! The ear is a fickle thing....
