Journey RT660
Has anyone here got one of these?
Of the Journey CF models, this one appeals to me more than the OF660 "take-down" version. I would love to hear how this one sounds - or user opinions anyway. Ted... I know that you have one; what are your thoughts on how it compares to the RS CH-OM (a close competitor), for example ? |

I'm interested in Ted's (and others) opinions of these two as well, especially in how they stand up to moderate to occasionally aggressive strumming.

Hey guys,
Yes, I do have one, and I prefer the tone to my OF660. The difference is that the OF660 sounds warmer, something CF newbies might prefer, but I prefer the cleaner tone of the RT660, which seems to be lighter built, so more responsive, which works for me as I mostly play fingerstyle. As to the difference between the RT660 and the Rainsong Shorty, or the new CH-OM1100NS, I think most folks will find that the Rainsong has a more refined voice, with cleaner bass response, and better note separation. Course the RT660 does have a beautifully contoured body, and it's a bit smaller, more of a 00 than a 000/OM like the Rainsong, so it's a joy to play, and hold, and easier to pack on a plane for sure. The Rainsong is the size of a Taylor Grand Concert 12-fret, and the RT6600 is about the size of the Taylor GS Mini, so it really comes down to personal preference. The safest option will be to buy one of each. Last edited by Ted @ LA Guitar Sales; 01-09-2018 at 03:11 PM. |

Thanks for the description of the differences between them, Ted. Very helpful.
I'm shocked that two stand-up guys like Ted and kramster would suggest such a thing! Professional enablers at work!

I limited myself to 5 Cargos owned at one time and only 2 Center hole X-7s. So I have been behaving... sorta
