I often play with Blue Grassers and have been seeing a change. Many years ago it seemed like Martin was THE guitar of choice. And then other wooden brands, like Taylor, began to sneak in. And then there was an occasional Rainsong. My CF guitars were first accepted, but barely. Now people are asking to try them out. Just to be really radical I've been bringing my electric 7 woody to various group plays and there is general interest and acceptance. Times they are a changing.
