Default Just ordered a Rainsong Hybrid Studio Dread

from Tarpman-

Seeing that he is in LA and it has rained so much this week that the animals are beginning to gather two by two, I figured it was a good time for him to sell me a Rainsong! The matte finish carbon looks really nice, and I listened to the sound samples of this model on Podium's website vs. a bunch of other fine guitars and it seemed to hold its own. I am working within a particular budget (as we all are) and am looking for a tone-monster dread (see my "cutting my own hair to save up" thread) but know that whatever guitar I find (most likely a Martin HD28, D18GE, Taylor DN8E TB) cannot possibly be my only guitar, as it will be a cherished possession. I play at church when I can and this poses a huge issue for me in that we always go out to lunch after church and I am not leaving any of the above guitars in the car in the Applebee's parking lot in July in SW Florida. The Rainsong fits that bill and I know will be a great stage guitar and I look forward to getting it next week. I will be posting the obligatory photos and review once it is in my hands.

Congrats Matt, I played the studio dreadnought at LA Guitar Sales and was quite impressed as I'm sure you will be. Happy Christmas!

You'll be amazed at the tone and light weight of these Rainsongs....

I'm looking forward to it. Search out the mic'd sound sample on The Podium's website and compare it to the others on their site. It sounds pretty sweet among the stalwarts in that bunch.
