Can you play a composite acoustic in the rain?
The site advertises "safe in any environment..." am I reading way too much into this?

I think keeping the electronics dry would be the only concern.

Guitar will be fine, just don't leave the cake out.
I don't advocate playing any guitars in the rain.

You can play it on a boat,
You can play it with a goat, You could play it in the rain, You could play it on a train.

LOL!
I think it'd be one of those things that you could do, but I wouldn't feel right about it. To me it would be like buying a brand new Chevy Tahoe 4X4 for $40K and then taking it out on some "muddin' trails." It could probably handle it, but I just wouldn't feel right doing it. BTW, my parents (in 1979) had their 1500 sq. ft. house (w/full basement) BUILT on 4 acres of the most beautiful land in the county for LESS than the base price of a 2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid. |

I've played my Rainsong in light rain and mist to no ill effect. Don't know if I'd want to get out in a heavy rain whether I was playing guitar or not.
Regarding graphite guitars, to paraphrase the good doctor: you can play them in the rain you can play them on a train you can play them in a house you can play them with a mouse you can play them on a boat you can play them with a goat you can play them here or there you can play them anywhere rick

The real question is "can you play them underwater"? Someone has got to try that ....not me, someone.

I would guess you could, but why would you want to play a guitar in the rain?
