Carbon Fiber Guitars

[Troubador]

'Bridgepin' inspired me to start this thread. Anyone know of regular size carbon fiber guitars with 1 3/4 nut for $1700 or less? Thanks

If you can find one - the Rainsong smoky, Shorty or the CH series fit your requirements. They aren’t made anymore, but when new they went for around $1500, if memory serves. Otherwise, the Journey road-trip might fill the bill and is currently being made. I think it’s roughly OOO size.

Or perhaps more a short scale 00 size. Lower bout is less than 14.5", overall length 36" and 24.5" scale. But does have a 1-3/4" nut.

Where can you find a Journey Road Trip (RT660M). I can't find one .

I have listened to sound samples of several other CF guitars, and I didn't care for any, except the Enya that 'Bridgepin' first referenced. But I couldn't play the 1 11/16 nut width of that one.
