I got a used Rainsong JM1000 this fall, and couldn't be happier. I'd been looking at both the CA's and Rainsongs, but when this one came along (at a very good price), I jumped and bought it. The resonance is magnificent, and I'm finding I prefer the "attack" I get from the undersaddle pickup (as opposed to the tone from the ES on my Taylor). The upside- no heat/cold issues, and no humidification issues either. I've taken it twice on planes, and simply checked it as baggage- and while that made me a little nervous, no problems have occured... and if they broke it, or lost it, well, the tone is standardized- every Rainsong JM1000 should sound the same-
