Rainsong Hybrid
I am interested in getting a Carbon Fiber guitar. I notice that Rainsong has a new Hybrid line that is a combination of carbon fiber and glass fiber. Does anyone know how the glass fiber mix impacts on the strength and reliability of the product? I see that the price is quite a bit lower - in my mind, I'm thinking an inferior product?

I am not sure if the guitar is less durable, but I can tell you it is one great sounding guitar. Rainsong has the best graphite guitars, IMHO. The carbon and glass combination is something quite special. You will very surprised with the quality and the sound of the hybrid. Guitar center is carrying them, go give it a try!

There was a recent thread about Rainsong guitars and I asked the same questions about the hybrid. I am not aware of any responses

I just got a hybrid studio (matte finish) and it is a phenomenal guitar. I can't imagine it having any durability issues and I would not consider it inferior to an all cf guitar. It is a great sounding and playing instrument.

I've got to agree after owning a Rainsong HS-OM1100N2 for several months. It's so light you'd think it's a toy, but the tone is really incredible. I had a Fishman Matrix Infinity installed, and a great tone only got better played through my Fishman Loudbox Mini...

I've tried a couple of these and they are very nice guitars, with warmer tone than the original RainSongs. But if you are interested in their matt finish version be sure to give one a try first. I found this finish to be very scratchy and noisy, much like the RT finish on CA guitars that many folks did not like.
