So, what we've learned from this poll: those who own and play carbon fiber guitars are... guitar players!
It isn't necessarily about CF vs wood, but about finding the guitar(s) that allow you to live and play the way you like. Well, I would like to play better, but that isn't my guitar's fault.

I find that still to be confusing. Should it maybe read: do/will/still? Reminds me of the running meme for "eats shoots leaves". Depending on the punctuation, the meaning can change dramatically. Eats, shoots, [and then] leaves. Or Eats shoots & leaves. Sorry to be cranky on a Monday morning.
In either event, it does not change my answer. While I like wood guitars and wood in general, I appreciate to the low maintenance carefree carbon lifestyle. That does not mean I give up anything in the tone department. When I lived in Alaska, it took considerable effort to maintain good wood guitars -- two dampened sponge devices in each case that were bone dry in a week, all guitars living in their cases all the time, plus running 8-10 gallons per day through a cabinet humidifier for the sake of the grand piano. I've put in my lifetime quota of humidification chores. |

The 1920 Steinway grand piano went to a new home just before it's 98th birthday. We replaced it with a good digital piano with weighted keys, which covers our limited needs these days . While digital isn't quite the same thing as a great acoustic piano, we recaptured a full quarter of our smallish living room, and don't have to see the piano tuner twice a year anymore. I will let K-man answer for himself.
I rode the school bus and carried my lunch. Isn't the English language fun?? |

I voted hybrid as I'll always have at least one wooden guitar around. It's nice to have access to both worlds though. The carbon guitars will almost always get the nod for gigging and travelling while also logging lots of home time as well.

I'm enjoying carbon fiber for the practical benefits. And, they sound like "good" guitars to my ears. However, I have not played a man made material guitar that compares to my Martin Authentic. If I did, I'd buy a truck load of them. lol
