I have arrived....

I sold my Fender Strat and Super Champ X2 amp this week so for the first time in a long time I'm completely acoustic; simultaneously I am also all Rainsong carbon fiber. Anybody want to start a betting pool as to how long this state will last???

My condolences, RP!

. You do have beautiful guitars though.

I wonder how many people who own at least 4 guitars own only CF guitars? Gotta be less than 0.001%? You have arrived!

Beautiful family there ! May be time to add some other CF guitars to it

Nice family portrait!

Guitars come and go... I wouldn't bet against anyone on this forum, as the GAS is strong here.

Say your house is burning, you only have time to save one guitar… Which one would you take?

Not a problem - as you can see, I keep them outside on my deck. That's one of the advantages of owning guitars made of carbon fiber. Ok, kidding aside, I'd grab one of the Vintage models. I love my 12-string but with arthritis in my hands, I have trouble with barre chords at times. I prefer larger body guitars so the OM would probably be last that I'd grab. If for some reason I absolutely had to pare down to a single guitar, it would be either the Vintage dread or jumbo...

RP, you might consider playing in DADGAD from time to time. It could give your hands a well deserved break to be playing open string chords, often using only a single digit.

Thanks for the suggestion...

Nice family! Didn’t you used to to have an Emerald X-30?
