I absolutely love my CA guitar. I have an older Legacy Prototype acoustic with no electronics, red back and neck. This guitar records so beautifully that I know I could never replace it. I'm originally from Lafayette, LA so I feel connected to CA because they were our local guitar company.

Any word of possible buyout?

One of the guys at Long & McQuade told me on Saturday that someone had bought the company and was resurrecting it. Anyone else heard this, or was he just trying to sell his stock?

Composite Acoustics
What can be learned (outside of the financial industry)? These guitars are so supreme and so durable, it is even likely that existing guitars may continue to be traded as prized collectors items, worthy of a high price. Better, that someone will recognize the value, and continue production of key models.

CA closing down
Quote:
I've used two early CAs for several years in concert (bluegrass, progressive acoustic) using profiles of my old wood instruments and the sound is remarkable. Tim told me about CA, and they were exceptional in service and guidance in sound. Channel on the board is set completely flat for the direct line from the Aura- needs no EQ tweaking as it is the complete frequency profile, and you work a condensor mic on another channel for the neck/ soundhole which can be EQ'd-- work in and out from the mic, like a classic wooden instrument for "atmospherics". No need for onboard condensor mic. Slider set to pickup only. I love wood instruments..and I use them only in the best environments as possible. CA was/is far ahead of the curve in performance technology. I hope their proprietary work is continued at some point, and the company picked up by responsible investors. |

The instruments were just put on the wall like everything else. That was part of the problem, that and the upper mid level buyers have/had all lost their jobs. Materials cost vs. say, Boeing getting a major contract and eating up the supply had a lot to do with it also. You're right that quality alone will not do it. These instruments will be around a long time, and prized. |
