Title: WTB Rainsong Carbon Fiber Acoustic
Post by: drose on May 18, 2015, 04:33:44 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a rainsong acoustic. It doesn't matter what model to me, as long as it's one completely made out of carbon fiber. I'm willing to spend $500+shipping via paypal. PM me if interested!    :D

Good luck with that - seriously.  I've seen a few Rainsong guitars come up on Craigslist, but only one that was ever below twice that amount.  And it ultimately turned out to have a defective pickup.  If you manage to find one in your price range, and it doesn't have major issues, you will have gotten an amazing bargain.

Maybe search for a PMJ-1000.  This was an import version trying to keep the price down, with a CF top, laminated wood sides, wood neck and wood fretboard.  They were not on the market very long.  I happen to have one (not for sale).  Good luck.

Thanks! I want an all fiber carbon guitar though, and I don't care about a pickup. In fact, I would rather go purely acoustic.

I read that you wanted all CF, but wanted to let you know of asnother option that exists (at least in theory).  Very few were made without pickups - that would be a special order, further narrowing the field.  But you never "get" if you don't "ask", right?  Good luck in your quest.  Rainsongs are pretty awesome guitars.

Yeah, $xxx aint happening...

Most days you can find an Adamas for just above a grand for an entry level model.  $xxxx will get a nice one... but not $xxx...
