Aaron, several months ago, as I was auditioning and considering buying my 2022 RainSong BI-DR1000N2, I was listening to my dealer play it for me, and he remarked, "You know, Ken, if I close my eyes, I wouldn't know if I was playing a RainSong or a fine wooden guitar." I agree with David Stutzman but will add that the harder you play a carbon guitar, the more obvious the differences will sound between it and a fine all-solid-wood guitar--and neither will sound bad.

Frankly, after owning a dozen RainSongs, three Composite Acoustics, and an Emerald, I don't care anything about the differences in tone between carbon and fine all-solid-wood guitars--They all sound great to me!
