Wooden guitar similar to a Rainsong?
 

I am curious to know what type of wood would be like owning a Rainsong, or have those types of traits?

I personally enjoy the classic series (JM1000) more than the unidirectional (CO-JM1000)

I think what I am looking for is bright, with a lot of clarity. I want to know how you guys feel about about the Rainsong classical series. I personally found the CO-JM1000 muffled. I am looking for a wood alternative to the Rainsong. Crazy, as usually people are doing the opposite, but I am just trying to get a feel on your guys opinions.

How would you describe the Rainsongs classic series tone?

Maple for its clarity and brightness?

Adirondack for its brightness?

Taylor for its brightness?

Interesting thought going the other way. I understand your liking the Classic Series, it is clear and bell like. To make a Rainsong more woodlike you do add materials that do "muffle" the sound, the positive term would be to add warmth. I think your idea of maple and the Taylor brightness would get you close.

Taylor 616?
I think it has mahogany neck, though. Is there something - stock - with a maple neck too?
edit:
ooops, looks like the 600 series Talors have maple in the neck too.

I think my bich guitar is a step in the same direction. It has other shortcomings but I like its sound.

I don't think you'll be able to find a wood guitar that's similar to the Classic RainSong models. Even if the wood itself had similar qualities, the wood guitar would be braced, the RS would not.
