Also own a CA here. Mine is the Bluegrass Performer with the 1 11/16 nut. I love it because I can leave it on the stand with no worries, and have left it in the car overnight last winter(forgot about it-after a late night) Its fallen over a few times with no markings, or problems I can see. I also accidentally knocked my maglight flashlight on it(the big police kind). It made a horrible sound as it bounced off it, but no marks. It has a great clear tone-very good string separation. It has a little more bassy sound comparable to a Martin D-28, as opposed to the more modern sounding Rainsong. I had never heard of CA before when I went to Elderly a few years back to check out Rainsong guitars. At the time CA made guitars that were a lot less expensive than the Songs. One of the reasons I bought it. They have since retooled their factory and raised their prices, so I am luck I got on the CA bandwagon when I did. Patrick
