Carbon-fiber acoustic guitars are often discussed as alternatives to guitars made from traditional tone woods, but the instruments have progressed to such a level that they deserve to be discussed on their own merits just like any other guitar. While advantages like their resistance to problems caused by severe climate conditions make carbon-fiber acoustics very appealing, many of today’s composite guitars are simply great-sounding instruments that play exceptionally well.

Perhaps the only disadvantage is that carbon-fiber acoustics are usually rather expensive. RainSong’s new Hybrid Series guitars bring the cost of a composite acoustic down to earth, yet these models offer most, if not all, of the same advantages of higher priced instruments. As the name suggests, RainSong’s Hybrid Series acoustics are built from a combination of carbon- and glass-fiber construction, which brings down the cost of producing an instrument without sacrificing the best attributes of a composite instrument. The H-DR1100N2 is a traditional dreadnought model featuring RainSong’s acclaimed N2 neck—the Hybrid Series also offers a deep-body grand auditorium and a slim-body orchestra model.
