Default Rainsong Hybrid Series 6 String Cutaway Acoustic/Electric

Have played this guitar twice at a store near me, and really like the sound and action. Would appreciate any comments or information about the model, as well as the plugged in sound. Thanks in advance.

I have a Hybrid series WS. You can see my review/comments previously posted here. Short version= really like it. I bought mine without electronics, so I can't comment on that.

I could see ordering a Rainsong without electronics. I just don't like barndoors and I think Fishman is pretty good with a Aura pedal. But lately I have been liking SBT.

I love the Shorty sans the pickup. I figure why have such a high tech guitar with electronics that within 5 more years will not be high tech. Electronics get better and better and with clever ways to DIY install, whether permanent or temporary.

I like the Miniflex model 2mic. Haven't really played around with decent preamps yet.

I got mine w/o electronics because it's a pretty rare thing that I want to play plugged in, and I don't like the look of the "barn door" electronics, and the factory electronics seem to get mixed reviews, and yes, so many more options for after-market systems.
