From the website: "Acoustic archtops are not meant for evenings around a camp fire strumming chords. These guitars are a player's instrument. Single notes should ring out with sustain and clarity. The guitar should have a wide dynamic range. An acoustic archtop should have the volume necessary to play in an ensemble. These tonal qualities are favored in the Jazz world; but regardless of whether you are a country, fingerstyle, celtic, or even classical player the archtop's unique sound can be intoxicating and a must for recording, composing, or even playing live." As a classic folk/rock campfire hack, I guess I don't fit the player profile, so one of these beauties won't be for me!

A gorgeous instrument. What I find particularly interesting is the use of CF for the soundboard.

I owned a Rainsong PMJ-1000 for about ten years. Laminated wood back and sides, mahogany neck with a rosewood finger board, but the top was CF weave just like my WS-1000. I never babied that guitar during Alaska winters when everything else got humidified (RH 15-20% in the house all the time) and never had any issues. The top is the most vulnerable part, subject to stress cracks as it dries out. I might have filed down some slightly sprouting fret ends that first winter as the neck and finger board wood dried and shrunk a bit -- I cannot remember for sure.
It now lives with a friend in Tucson, AZ because she needed something that did not require constant care. Tucson is lucky to get up to 20% RH outdoors, and even drier inside with heat and mostly AC.
