Carbon fiber Archtop or nylon string guitars?
Hi guys.
Does anyone know a company makes Carbon-fiber jazz Archtop or nylon string guitars or planning to make one? Seems like composite and rainsong companys are only into acoustic flat tops. I really hope they do make one in the future. Cargo sized travel archtop guitar?? How awesome is that?

Here is a used Rainsong nylon string for sale at Elderly. I don't think they make them anymore.

Blackbird makes a travel sized nylon string model. Although it has a very untraditional body style, the nut width and string spacing is like a traditional classical guitar. Unfortunately, it is freakin expensive, but its the only maker that I know that is still actively producing a nylon string carbon fiber guitar. Check out the downloads section for some clips of it being played...I actually like how it sounds. I really want to get the blackbird because I want a no worry guitar I can take outside in the heat, but at that price I can't justify it. Its too bad though...although I really want a nylon carbon fiber guitar, I don't think there is very much market for one. Most people who play nylons are classical guitarists, and since that is steeped in such tradition, there is no way they would be willing to accept a carbon fiber guitar over a traditional wood guitar. I also believe the Rainsong is discontinued, and the width of the fretboard wasn't 2" either...it was one of the more traditional dreadnought widths. Too bad, I prefer the 2". Edit: If you are interested in Carbon fiber guitars, heres a really great forum to keep up on the latest news of carbon fiber guitars. http://carbonguitar.com/smf/index.php Last edited by Rudygee2; 06-27-2009 at 09:07 PM.
