Default Rainsong - be aware!

I've had 2 of them. First I must say they sound remarkable acoustically - loud, and articulate, sustain forever and a "hollow" kind of tone that is reminiscent of wood if not a fine facsimile.

2 things to be aware of: first, The Fishman Prefix (if it is still used in it) is the worst sounding amplified tone I have ever heard - entirely unrealistic. It is so bad it will make you angry to hear it.

Second, do not leave it in even moderate heat - my strings actually melted into the bridge behind the nut. It didn't affect anything except perhaps the break angle, but left a bit longer it probably could have been disastrous.

Stays in tune forever, never need to adjust the neck, feels great in your hand, nothing but good stuff to say otherwise.
