Rainsong P12 questions...
Just picked one up used and have some questions.
Advertised as a 1 3/4 nut but measures a little smaller. 1.71 on my calipers. Was a smaller nut model made? Best strings? Unidirectional top? How would I know? The top has been polished from satin to... well whatever it is now. Anyone here ever polish a satin top? Would like to make it look a little better. Back and sides are still satin. Curious if anyone has ever painted one..? I would most likely only paint the top but a clear on the back and sides might look good. Thanks |

If I were you, I would just play the heck out of the guitar and see if it is worth the time and consideration you want to give to aesthetics. This is a sweet instrument and if it plays out as you'd like, then by all means, give it your best. The CF guitars lend themselves to painting, they are a great, smooth, pallet. Enjoy the process, thank you for posing interesting questions. |
My WS Rainsong seems to prefer Elixir nano lights, not sure about the P12, but should be a good starting point. The unidirectional top does not show a "weave" pattern. Check out the pictures on the Rainsong web site and see if that helps. Congrats on a great guitar!

I like Tomastik-Infeld Spectrum strings on my P12.

Thanks for the responses.
This guitar has sustain:) Very lively, light and fun. Has some bass to it and I think will try and get a little more bass out of it with a heavier gauge string. |
