Rainsong Jumbo in the UK?
Hi all,
I could really do with a tough, nice sounding guitar that I could fly with and drag all over the continents without having to baby. I am seriously happy with my Avalon, and I want to leave it at home, for recording and 'home' gigs. I really like the sound of those Rainsong Jumbos, but I can't track one down in the UK... anyone have any leads? Cheers, RJ

Hi Rick,
I saw some UK dealers listed on Rainsong's website. Have you checked them out?

Hi Rick,
Maybe try www.promenademusic.co.uk ... they have a WS1000 in stock and say they are Rainsong dealers.. |

Hi Rick:
You might try contacting Tony at D-a-m-n Fine Distribution (this system will not let me type that in as a word!). DFD is the official RainSong distributor for UK and can put you in touch with a store that actually carries the model you are interested. The link to DFD is the first one for United Kingdom on our website http://rainsong.com/dealers/ Cheers!

Thanks for the input, Ashvin. When was the last time that Chris or Bob posted on AGF????

Thanks guys, looking into it now.
I will shoot DFD an email thanks! Ashvin, would it be economically nonviable - or even possible - to order one direct from yourselves, without any electronics fitted? I'd quite like to add my usual K&K or Dazzo and MiSi combination, and not have the UST element under the saddle.

Those David Wilcox sigs look pretty sweet too... are there many left?
I use some low tunings etc, and have many of the same requirements as DW despite a completely different playing style. It has my choice of tuners, and I always have two jacks in my guitar also. I wonder if I could find one, and what they run for?

Hi Rick:
I would encourage you to contact us directly at [email protected] to continue this discussion since it may no longer be of interest to the general public. However, to answer your questions: - We do not generally sell instruments directly from the factory. You may choose to work with a UK retailer or a US retailer. - The David Wilcox models are built-to-order with a typical 4-6 week lead time. You may place your order through a UK or US RainSong Dealer. - You may also order any of our models (except DWLE) without electronics.
