Rainsong WS-100

This Guitar features and boasts (deservedly) 100 per cent composite material construction. That means no twists, warps and other encumbering things like uniqueness and individuality. It sounds and acts like the perfect road guitar. It also has the stage presence like no other. The one I played came with a Fishman blender system that sounds great. It is the product of engineering minds. 'Nuf said. Sometimes even the best engineers leave GLARING holes in the most frustrating of places. Only SOME models have neck adjustments? This feature wouldn't be so bothersome if not for the other feature: Its $2,000 and over price tag! We are thus persuaded to believe that it is so perfectly set up that it possesses it's own brain that compensates for whatever string gauge you put on it, right?

This guitar sounded great over the air and fantastic plugged in. However that's the Fishman talking - NOT the Rainsong. If you want a stage guitar, you could save about a grand and get a cheaper fishman-equipped axe too, but sorry I'm not a participant in the love-fest going on by the other Rain-songers. But good sounding guitars are usually so delicate, that this line of guitars stands expensively alone. A wonderful invention would be the RainSong Classical guitar with concert sound. That would be just the bomb. If they pull that off, I'd see it as a major triumph. It sounds bright, similar to a maple guitar but with much better bass. Haven't experimented with different alloy strings, but you could probably get some variety with that.

Since it's the robot of guitars, it will sound just like the other one you pick up I guess. Which is where this excels over say, a Taylor or a High=end Takamine. If you like the one you play, you need to get THAT one since there's just too much unpredictability in making wood guitars. However, I MUST get back to the glaring flaw: Why don't they all have trussrods? Come on now, people! Two Thousand Dollars and No ability to customize for individual touch? How can it NOT be a turnoff? It's like a toothless Miss Universe contestant: Gorgeous in every way but just one. Yeah, but what a one! As a fingerstyle player I'm very disappointed

This guitar I'm sure is just the careless man's dream guitar. Its stage presence is impressive. People will take notice, much like that brushed metal-top Ibanez makes (at 1/4 the price) I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm sure now that you've payed 2,000 dollars for it, you have no problem having your best excuse for no one else touching it go the way of the dodo bird.

No comment. Very glad there's ample proof of customer care and that is a very good thing these days.

Don't love the claims of craftsmanship when dealing with basically predictable materials uniformly molded polymers etc., when compared with the intricacies and capriciousness associated with wood selection, delicacy of tap-tuning - you know, Real craftsmanship. I respect a car's craftsmanship in its designing and engineering. However, once it can be mass-produced, the mystique goes down and so should the price. Same should be said of RainSong guitars.
