Those RainSong guitars look great, I have never played one. My
guitar student showed up with a composite, very light, resonator
from Beltona and it sounded fantastic head to head with my National
Steel and Dobro. It would be fantastic to travel with. These wood
guitars sound really good and are really packable. The neck folds!

They're super light, so they're well suited for adding various
electronics. What really impressed me was when I saw this video of
David Wilcox's setup. He has saddle pickups and mikes inside, along
with aMIDI-out, so he can trigger notes an octave lower for a real
satisfying low tone. The Rainsong, unlike wooden guitars, can tilt
the saddle pins at an angle to more easily allow low bass string
setting like low B or A.
Of course RainSongs don't need a truss rod, so necks stay as they
were made. The sound board doesn't pull up either.
