As Kramster implied, you're in the wrong place if you want anything but encouragement to purchase a carbon fiber guitar. I've recently transitioned from owning seven Taylors to a smaller gaggle of carbon fiber guitars. Rainsong is currently undergoing a restructuring of their models, and 86ing IMO their most desirable model lines, the CH and H guitars. At current pricing, I believe that the Hybrids are the way to go, and more specifically, the H-DR1100N2. You'll find many who really don't like the N2 neck so that may be a contraindication for you. However, at the current price of $1599 (minus the current 15% discount at Musicians Friend)

Everybody perceives tone in a different way so nobody can really say for sure if the tone of a CF will measure up for you. I would say that most of us carbon fiber adherents - if not all - started out playing wooden guitars. Some of us own CF guitars exclusively now or a combination of wood and CF. I will say that you can order the previously mentioned H-DR1100N2 from Musicians Friend, try it out, and if it doesn't work for you then just return it, and you're only out the return shipping cost...
