I will second Barb's comment. I met Joe at the Reno Ukulele Festival in Spring 2016, where I first played an El Capitan. That very early example had somewhat high action (but still acceptable to me) because of a minor neck angle issue, and Joe refused to sell it to me. He simply did not want a guitar with a QC issue out there representing the brand, and limited that one to use as a demo unit at shows and in the shop. (He struggled to keep one in stock to demo, because they were/are flying off the shelves). So it might be a bit unfair to condemn all of the El Capitan models based on one example, and one tech's opinion.
Having said that, there is much to love about all the CF brands - Rainsong, Blackbird, Composite Acoustics, Emerald, Journey, etc. We own them all except the Journey. But no guitar brand can be all things to all players. If that were so, Martin would be out of business due to Taylor, or vice versa. |
