Shorty Deal
Quote:
The shorty and the ch om are the same guitar just with different finishes, tuners, rosette. There are full gloss shortys and full satin shortys to be had right now for good deals. The ch om has gloss top and satin b/s and neck. So whatever your preference is, there's one for you. I agree with dhart that they are amazing sounding guitars. Very comfortable size too. |

I'm pretty happy with my Shorty, but I think I prefer the satin neck on the CH series... maybe enough to trade my Shorty for a CH-OM! |

Shorty Deal
Quote:
You can always make a glossy neck have a satin feel. 600 grit sand paper, elbow grease, then finish it off with OOOO steel wool. I like the gloss b/s. it sure makes that carbon weave look smokin! |

I guess I got screwed buying my SG Shorty.

Or, you could look at it that you have had more time with it if you bought it before the lesser expensive finish models came out. My SG FLE Shorty was my first carbon fiber guitar. I like the sharks, the soundhole rosette, and the glossy back and sides. I rack it up to the cost of entry to carbon fiber.
Since that time, I've learned about CF guitars that are less $$, and perhaps a better value. When I spend money to learn something, I consider it "tuition," rather than getting screwed. Perception. |

Deals come and go all the time. For instance Jim bought one of our limited SG's with Abalone rosette, and the first ever Abalone shark fret markers used on Rainsongs for the same price he would have paid for a standard SG. Because the guitar was inspired by a forum member, we donated $100 for every guitar sold, to the AGF, so it was a good deal for the forum, and it's members. But at that price the deal wasn't going to last, and neither will these discontinued models. I'm guessing there are maybe a dozen SG models left out there, so soon this very limited deal will be but a distant memory, and you can feel good about your SG again.

Good point. I am happy with the guitar and it definitely fills an important role. Plus it will last longer than me! -with practically zero maintenance. |

Is there any love out there for the Rainsong dreads? The youtubes of the dreads (to my ear) sound fantasic. The jumbos sound like they may be too 'in your face' for a quite campfire. I wish I could A/B the OM and dread. The sound difference may never be heard if the OM is the only one being played.

Ted has a Black ice 12 fret ( I think) and every time he talks about it I'm tempted to call him up and order one. |
