composite instruments dominate jam
At yesterday's edition of our monthly jam, there were two Rainsongs (DR and WS), my Emerald X20-12, my Blackbird Farallon ukulele. Not bad with only six players total (a small turnout this month). The other folks slummed it with a Taylor 414-R and a mid-level Washburn (he's primarily an electric guitar player so we forgive him).

When I first saw the title of this thread I says to myself I says.. "Has someone gone too far?? Will it be good with peanut butter?

At least with CF and eKoa instruments, we could hose the peanut butter off. Talk about coated strings!! We did have cookies, though.
I started the thread to highlight that here in little old out-of-the-way Boise, we have a cluster of composite instruments. You know, for those who might be wondering about them and Google searching for CF guitars. We also happen to have a well-stocked CA dealer locally too. One of the guys with an older N1 DR-1000 is looking for another Rainsong with a cutaway because he likes to play leads. I also think he would like the thicker N2 neck. |

Wow! Who knew that Idaho was the epicenter of the carbon fiber revolution! Way to go, Idaho!

At least within my little circle of jam buddies. I started it all bringing my Rainsong WS-1000 to jams. Then another fellow bought one just like it used. Another close friend really wanted a Rainsong but was short on cash. When a DR-1000 popped up in the local CL I bought it for him and let him pay me back over time. After playing my Lucky 13, another guy bought one used from Reverb shortly thereafter, but he was visiting from Austin. Now there are dozens of local players who have tested my Rainsong, Blackbird and Emerald, and my wife's Cargo. And even more who have been directed to our LGS that stocks Composite Acoustics. |

Cool, Earl. It seems you’re on a mission to re-populate the guitar world!
