Activity on the CF sub-forum
Since NAMM, there has been a lot of activity on this sub-forum. Informative, entertaining... nice seeing all the interest!

I love seeing increased activity on the CF forum. It still amazes me that more guitar stores don't carry at least on CF guitar. The normal consumer still doesn't even know that CF guitars exist.

I agree... I'm enjoying more activity here too. I just ordered an Emerald last night, so I'm doubly excited!!!

This is the forum I most frequently read and I'm happy there is so much interest. I love my Rainsong Shorty and am fighting GAS for an Emerald X20.

I had stopped coming to AGF due to some acrimonious trolls a year or two ago. (This was before I learned about the "ignore user" function in the control panel, to block those "problem" posters). The CF room is the only thing that keeps me coming back. I do peruse the main room from time to time.
I would not even know about Emerald at all if not for this CF sub-forum, and will likely be ordering a Chimaera later in the year. It's great to see the interest and activity here, and interact with fellow CF enthusiasts. |

Hey Tom, no... too many frets to choose from!
I really wanted the old X-5 parlor, but I've got an X-7 Artisan on the books. I'm at the very bottom of the list right now. |

Earl, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope that situation is a little better than it used to be... hope some of those problem children are gone. We'd like for you to stick around.

Well, I still peruse the first page of the "Today on the AGF", but posts get logged so fast that I know I am missing a bunch of stuff there. But, I do read most things that get posted here on CF. Great to see all the activity!

I routinely pass that trick along to others that seem to be getting sideways with certain contentious posters. Every time I've thought about upgrading to Charter Member, another troll incident happens and makes me reconsider. Kids these days...... |

It amazes me that no shops in ARID-ZONA carry at least one CF guitar. If anywhere should be the mecca of CF instruments it ought to be Phoenix with our standard single digit humidity.

And, it is only 5.5 hours to LA Guitar Sales from the Phoenix area. |

Haha, this is kind of the laid back, worry-free zone of the AGF isn't it ?
Don't see much here about humidity control, loose bindings, cracked tops, neck re-sets, buffing out dings, , , or ToneRite ! It's practically all just NGDs around here ! Of course I still have several wooden ones to fret over (with apologies ). And I enjoy all the funnies and cut n thrust of the open mic |

You are 100% right - CF should be far more popular that it seems to be in the ultra dry desert. But CF guitars are not the norm, are rather expensive, and acoustic guitar players are a hide-bound bunch of traditionalists. I got into Rainsong while living in Alaska, where winter heating drives the indoor RH down into the single digits, just like AZ. |
