An acoustic-electric that combines the stability and robustness of carbon fiber with the traditional aesthetics of wood.
RainSong’s Vintage Series embodies understated elegance. The traditional aesthetics of a spruce top fused with a robust unidirectional carbon soundboard is finished with an amber tint and supplemented with simple appointments. With a large, deep body and wide waist, RainSong's dreadnought shape has the powerful bass and ringing treble of a great rhythmic guitar, but still maintains a wonderfully balanced sound, with clear distinction among individual notes. From rhythm to lead, the RainSong DR makes its presence known. Capable of cutting through admirably in any acoustic setting, the DR is loud enough to compete with banjoes, mandolins and other traditional volume hogs.
To combine the stability and robustness of carbon fiber with the traditional aesthetics of wood, RainSong developed SFT—Soundboard Fusion Technology. This innovative technology allows RainSong to fuse a thin spruce soundboard and a unidirectional pre-impregnated carbon in a single molding step. The resulting SFT soundboard is a composite matrix that resonates as a single unit, like a solid-wood soundboard. The physical properties of the carbon fiber far exceed those of the thin wood. The SFT soundboard is able to maintain the imperviousness to humidity and temperature of carbon fiber. An SFT soundboard delivers rich, crystalline carbon sound that’s subtly colored by wood.
