No, silly.

Take advantage of the 10% discount and order one before the end of April.

I know it’s not a stock model, but a little sweet-talking should get past that without too much trouble.

You know you can do it. Don’t you have another birthday coming up soon?

In the words of the philosopher Spock: "It's only logical."

Oh, I can see it now - a 4 12-string throw down... 2 Emeralds, 2 RainSongs, 48 strings - which will be the last guitar standing? Coming soon to a YouTube channel near you!

It sure is a pretty sight! I'd be curious to know how it compares to the "classic" Rainsong 12-string models, if there's any difference in the new versions. How's the neck profile and width? It's been ages since I've had my paws on one, but I remember them being very easy on the hands, compared to some 12-string models.

I have read that Rainsong is using the same mold for 12 string necks that they used before they were discontinued, so I think the new 12 string necks are probably identical to the old ones.

Congrats..... IMHO Rainsong's jumbo is their best-sounding guitar. I have owned both the JM1000 and JM3000 (12 String) and they were GREAT gigging guitars.

Quick question. I realize that this is a painted guitar... do you know which top was used? I seem to remember that they offered 3 tops.... unidirectional, regular, and black ice... which I believe was only decorative. I seem to remember each had subtle sound differences.

I spoke to Ted a while back and he said they offer a 12 string option on all current production guitars (no hybrid guitars as they are discontinued... I liked the all blacked out less bling versions :-) ). I would reach out to Ted @ LAguitars. He works very closely with them and knows the ropes.

The OP said it was a CO, so that would have a unidirectional top.
