For Sale Or Trade: MINT USA Rainsong Smokey hybrid graphite a/e guitar with hard case!

[studioman001]

Hi. I'm interested in selling my mint Rainsong Smokey hybrid acoustic/electric with hard case for $1200 via pay pal, or, trading it for another carbon fiber guitar. She's only been in my smoke free home and has very low hours playing time.

Do you want an acoustic/electric that will never crack, warp, or bow no matter the temperature or humidity? Want to never pay for a yearly setup again? Want a guitar you can leave in the trunk of the car in any season;take camping;leave on the boat;take to the beach? You could play a gig in the tropics, fly to the desert, then to alaska in the dead of winter and this guitar would probably not even go out of tune! Playing a gig in direct sunlight? Even if the guitar gets to hot to hold, it'll be fine. Got it a bit wet because rain ruined your festival set? No problem;just dry it off and you're all good!

It's very well built and has a comfortable body. The tone is a bit darker and warmer than other Rainsong guitars and works well being played with a pick, or, fingerstyle.

I'm not crazy about the short scale. A lot of people raved about it but I don't think it's for me.

Anyways, get in touch with trade offers or if you just want to purchase it straight out. (Up to a dreadnought is fine but no jumbos please.) Thanks!

All dressed in black with innovative features.

The hybrid construction of the SMH combines the best qualities of carbon fiber and glass fiber. Glass fibers soften the crystalline carbon tone to provide
a mellow yet resonant sound, all at an attractive price point.

The Smokey's blacked-out styling is a first for RainSong. From the black Gotoh tuners to the black tusq nut/saddle/bridge-pins, the Black Beauty DR strings
to the matte black truss rod cover, the unadorned grey fingerboard to the stark soundhole, the dark low-profile L.R. Baggs electronic options to the new
hand-sanded and waxed satin finish – the Smokey embraces darkness – a dark guitar with a full, buttery tone.

RainSong's most popular deep cutaway WS body and the short-scale 12-fret neck combine to give the Smokey a full, rich, smoky� bottom end that perfectly
complements the precise focused mids and highs.

Like all RainSongs, the Smokey uses Projection Tuned Layering with all composite construction leading to a robust instrument that can withstand variations
in humidity and temperatures.

Includes hardshell case.

Can you please post additional (and better quality) photos?

Is the pickup system the standard box in the upper region of the bass side?

NS neck you say.........is that the NS2 or original low profile neck?

Thank you

[studioman001]

Hi.

It has the new neck with dual action truss rod;not the older thin wide neck. (I've seen it described as vintage Gibson in feel but I'm not a Gibson acoustic guy so can't really say yes or no on that point.)

It has the LR Bags Element active system with volume, eq, notch filter, tuner etc.

Working on the pics...

[studioman001]

Hi. I did a quick recording this afternoon of the Rainsong. (The link can be found below.) This is direct with the on board electronics. The eq was flat on the guitar and I did not add any compression or eq etc to the recording;only a touch of reverb to give it some space and depth...

I had a few requests so recorded another sound sample. This was recorded with my SE Electronics 2200A2C large diaphragm condenser microphone and I did not apply eq or compression etc.

Bumping her up. Get in touch to purchase. Thanks!

Still for sale... PM me if interested.

Hi. Here are four more pics of the Rainsong I have for sale. I hope they are better than the two pics above. (I'm legally blind so had a friend take these for me today.) As I said, there are no dents, dings, scratches, cracks, or fretwear etc;she's like new. PM to purchase. Thanks!
