Big guitar manufacturers and carbon fiber
Looking at rainsong guitars today and I was wondering, why haven't any of the big guitar manufacturers (Martin, Taylor, Gibson) begun producing carbon fiber guitars?
Or even a company like Fender buying one of the current carbon fiber guitar makers, adding it to their list of sub brands and expanding it through access to their overseas manufacturing and distribution networks.
I'm not saying this should or shouldn't happen, just wondering why it hasn't. The big guys always seem to be trying to find the next niche in the overcrowded guitar market and cheaper carbon fiber guitars would be something I would think somebody would pursue.
