Great time to buy a Rainsong...

I predicted that as Rainsong moves away from dealer distribution there would be some good deals to be had on remaining Rainsong guitars at dealers. While not every dealer is rushing to clear out existing Rainsong inventory, some definitely are. Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center https://chucklevins.com/pages/search...age?q=rainsong, in particular, had already put some nice discounts on their remaining Rainsongs; but today they're offering an additional 11% off. It's a great time to get a great deal on a Rainsong. FWIW Paul Reed Smith got his start in the guitar world doing repair work at Washington Music Center...

When I bought my Black Ice Jumbo in I think 2017, I paid cash for it and they guy gave me a huge discount. I think I paid $2200 out the door. MSRP was $2600 at that time if I recall

If we want to walk down Memory Lane, Rainsong prices were much cheaper. Now they are what they are and relative to what Rainsong is currently pricing their guitars, today's prices at Washington Music Center prices are very desirable...

When I clicked on the sale icon at the top of their main page, then on the 37 guitars listed as being on sale there were no Rainsongs. Maybe already being 10% off they are not included?

Don't click on the sale icon. When you click on the link I provided, don't the Rainsongs show up? If not, enter "Rainsong" in the search blank on their opening page. It looks like they have nine different models available. For example the CO-OM1000NS (12 fret shorty) that's $2999 on the Rainsong website is $2402.19 https://chucklevins.com/products/rai...-carbon-guitar...

It appears that Island Music Co. is doing a "Model Closeout" of year four remaining Rainsong guitars. Avenue Guitars https://www.avenueguitars.com lists their nine remaining Rainsong guitars with a 10% discount. Guitar Center/Musicians Friend has their Rainsongs marked at 15% off MSRP....
