I use my rainsongs for gigging and for general "Extreme Beater" situations... mid winter bonfire get togethers (as low as -10*F a few times), gigging in hot summer conditions (100*F, intense sunlight & 98% humidity) and kicking around on a boat with friends (its got splashed quite a few times btw). Sorry, but a wood guitar would have died a hundred deaths in those conditions. No, they don't sound like a super-duper handmade acoustic, but they're not designed to. They serve a great purpose and fit into a niche in the market, especially if you happen to be a person that is looking for a guitar you can use to paddle a canoe with and then play it when you get to your destination... you might want to change the strings once you get there, though.
