I’m not surprised - Rainsong has been there, consistently, for longer than any of the other makers.

The BlackBird and the Emerald I would not have heard of were it not for this forum and I picked up from other members through agf classifieds. |

I was surprised Rainsong didn’t have many more than Emerald. While Emerald is popular on this forum, Rainsong has been in business over 20 years I believe, with a fairly large dealer network. A Reverb search for Rainsong brings up 4 pages of results(some not really related) but a search for Emerald yields 5-10 total results. I have owned both but currently own neither, just surprised by the results.

A poll like this one has a pretty small sample, only taking into account CF players (who participate here) favorites (or currently owned). I don't think we should infer that the results here can be used to determine "who sells the most." And, in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter... each person picks (and stays with) the guitar that wins their own "popularity contest." It really doesn't matter who sells more, as long as you get the guitar(s) that pleases you. I'm glad we have options. (And for the record: Alistair from Emerald celebrated his 20th anniversary of making guitars in 2018.)

Yup. Makes the world go round.
And it’s not a competition. Quote:
We’re a pretty self-selecting bunch here. It’s pretty hard to justify any conclusions from any poll without realizing that. There’s a CF group on Facebook, and, as far as I can tell, there’s very little crossover with the AGF - which is not surprising, as the AGF demographic seems to be, in general, not congruent with FB.
