I have never had the pleasure of seeing and hearing one in the flesh, but have read here before that the Rider is about the “best” sounding (subjective I know) of all the cf guitars. Maybe the nearest in tone to an all wood guitar (?)
Which strikes me as odd, considering the unconventional shape.
When they were designing it and building prototypes, I’d guess that they were going for compact size as a major criterion.
They must have been thrilled that it came out sounding great as bonus.
Unlike, say,,,, eg. a Martin backpacker ...
