I think anyone who knows anything about carbon fiber also knows products made with it are expensive. I've owned sporting equipment, a bike, knives, even a rifle built using CF and every one of these items was twice as expensive as their counterpart using traditional materials. CF is light, resonant, and super strong, it just might be the perfect material for guitars.

As for cost, a Rainsong DR1000N2 is about the same price as a Martin D-28, in my opinion that makes the Rainsong a genuine bargain.
