quote:This is the best sounding carbon fiber guitar I ever heard.
 
It's a Composite Acoustics Legacy guitar.  They're made in Peavey's old factory in Mississippi, by the way.  
 
I prefer Rainsong guitars, because I own one. I bought a WS1000 from John Decker when they were still made in Hawaii. It's strictly an apples vs. oranges deal, though. Your mileage may vary. Viewer discretion advised. (What the heck does that mean, anyway? Don't tell anybody?) There are lots of comparison videos on YouTube, knock yourself out.  
 
Rainsongs don't have braces. CAs use Martin X-bracing. Rainsong offers four different composites (including fiberglass/carbon fiber) in five (6?) body shapes and sizes.  
 
The closest to Marbletown's guitarist's would probably be the CO-DR1000 Dreadnaught (the N2 designation indicates a truss rod and slightly beefier neck).
 
There are quite a few companies making carbon fiber guitars (note the date of that article) mainly because they're so much easier to make than wood guitars. Some vacuum molds, an oven, line up some suppliers and watch the money roll in. In fact, lots of people are making their own.
 
Whatever you do, don't buy a guitar made with *sodium hydroxide.
 
 
 
 
 
 
* That would be a base guitar.

Thanks Gregory; I was wondering how Union Station came about.

Tonight it's a little Quintette du Hot Club de France in honor of St?phane Grappelli's 108th birthday.

* That would be a base guitar.
 
Which is often found in ensembles with a strumpet & a French whorn.......
 
Peter (Who's really ashamed of that...but not enough to refrain )

Thanks for the Django & Grappelli!

Here's Gene Simmons, placing himself in the hands of an older and very experienced woman . . . . I love it when she tells him to come over to the house and she'll show him how to do it.

Yesterday I had a young lady in my cab who turned out to be a pianist, vocalist, and activist who was in town for a sex-trafficking seminar.  As I tend to do with musician passengers, we chatted, and at the station she gave me her CD; today I listened to it.  
I'm not ready to follow her on tour, but I am ready to follow her home....
May I introduce you to ?

Peter, you dirty old man.   She looks about 13 years old!
 
Bill, tgo (with tongue firmly planted in cheek).

Um, yeah - I probably should have noted that the girl in the vid looks 13 because she probably is; the song is about sex trafficking, and that's not Hana.  She looks like this:


 
 
Try ......

I've been listening to all the Jefferson Airplane/Starship loaded on my Pono player all day.  So far Blows Against the Empire; Baron Von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun; and Surrealistic Pillow.  Next up will be Bless Its Pointed Little Head and Volunteers.  If I work late, I might even get to Red Octopus.
 
Bill, tgo
