Carbon Fiber, Friend or Foe?



Blackbird plans to release and interesting all carbon fiber guitar. It's unique design features and all carbon fiber body and a hallow neck that will help project sound. Now with my experience with carbon fiber, its strong, light and doesn’t warp so you intonation on the guitar will be set for life. However, carbon fiber feels different when in your hand and it is low on sound projection quality. I have played a Rainsong WS1000 another traditional styled carbon fiber guitar and I can find guitars for half its $2200 price tag that play much better. The Rainsong new design however is supposedly going to make it a new step for the untraditional material but I have my doubts already. Oh and it's price isn’t the most appealing either at $1600.
