Why did Rainsong discontinue the studio series?
I just bought one second hand and when looking for specs, i noticed on their website it was discontinued, so i was wondering why.
rainsong s-OM1000N2 is the one i have.

Just guessing - it is good to change up the products, keeps the line fresh. I think their studio series featured their Fine Texture finish, without other embellishments, to keep the cost down. Kind of what they are currently doing with their current CH line.
The current CH-OM is pretty much the Shorty, which is similar to the the Studio Series OM, but with a 12-fret neck.

Like any product, they can only build -- and ask dealers to stock -- so many different models. When a newer line is developed, the old ones disappear. Tried to buy a brand new 2012 Chevy at a dealership lately?
Or maybe they didn't sell as well as the other series. I had a PMJ-1000 bought on clearance in the mid 2000's that had laminated wood body and neck with a CF weave top. Good guitars that just didn't survive in the marketplace at the price point.

Hello xxxx, Thank you for contacting us. The two key differences between the Studio Series and the Hybrid Series were the fine textured finish and the gig bag instead of the hard case. More customers chose to go with the gloss finish and the hard case of the Hybrid Series so we discontinued the Studio Series. For specs you can look at the H-OM1000N2. Let me know if you have any other questions. Kind regards, Dave

As someone who has a Rainsong with the RTF finish I can assure you that the new satin finish is considerably nicer.
