Default Oklahoma Carbon Fiber owners?

Are there any Forum members in Oklahoma that wouldn't mind letting me test drive their CF guitars?
I'm specifically looking to play a Rainsong CH WS1000 or APLE/ APSE OR CH OM
and an Emerald X20 or X7 or Amicus or CA GX OR GXI

I just can't find any in the guitar stores in OKC.

Wish I could help you, Randy, but I hope you find somebody. Any chance of a road trip somewhere?

It looks like Guitar Santuary in McKinney Texas my be the closest place to try a Rainsong ... 4 hour drive . I really don't want to have to do that.

And of course no Emerald X20 anywhere.

Randy, just a thought...perhaps email Sean at Emerald ([email protected]) who may be willing to share contact info with some X20 owners as close to you as possible. Maybe Ted might be willong to do the same with owners of other brands you’re interested in. They’d likely want to clear it with prospects first, but it can’t hurt to ask.

I received an Amicus a couple of weeks ago. If I can find an X-20 that appeals to me, I will soon have one of those, as well. I’m in Broken Arrow.

In the great scheme of things, 4 hours isn't that much of a trip considering what's at stake.
I've driven further to play music, golf, fish, hunt, eat.......

I am in DFW and have a X20 Custom woody. If you find you want to make the haul down here, let me know.

I now have an X-20 Artisan en route to me. If you’d still like to see/play one, as well as an Amicus, I should have it in a few weeks.
