Tell me about your guitar! I can't recognize it, the grain on the sides look interesting.

Its actually a carbon fiber Rainsong COWS-1100 I ordered while I was still working for the company. It was and still likely is the only one in existence and it is my primary instrument on most of the tracks on this album:) I think it tone is best heard in this track: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3079302/

I have it tuned down to baritone tuning in one of the tracks here. because of how loud it is naturally you can get away with that! also it sounds very distinct as a lead guitar. All the guitar tracks here were recorded with this guitar.

I realized after looking through your gallery that it would most likely be some rare gem of a guitar I've never heard of :) I think its awesome that you're a luthier, I've recently fell in love with acoustic guitars and was actually in the middle of deciding between a Epiphone AJ-500R, Epiphone DR-500R, or a Seagull Maritime SWS. I'm buying up from a Fender spruce top/laminate side guitar I bought pretty cheap, looking for a inexpensive solid body and all three of those have spruce tops and solid rosewood back and sides. Any thoughts or suggestions? :D

lol, Yeah I love this guitar. It sounds great and is always in tune and impervious to adverse weather conditions:)

I would recommend the seagull. They are damn good guitars and i think they sound better than the Epiphone equivalent though it depends on what sound your going for. I nearly bought a seagull myself some years back. I decided I didn't need another guitar though ( i have like 17 or something). There is also a company called "Walden" that makes pretty nice stuff in that price range:3

Lovely :3 Thanks for the advice, I think I'll look for the seagull then. Now can you tell me generally how the sound between a dreadnought body vs a mini jumbo compares? The Maritime line has both body styles and I guess I'm looking for the most versatile :3 Sorry for bugging you, you're just unlucky today :D

Well I know a guy who owns a mini jumbo and he loves it to death. Generally dreadnoughts are a bit more on the attack rather than sustain while the more rounded body guitars are just the opposite. If you are more of a rhythm guitar player I would go with the dreadnought most likely though i would play every one in the store if i were you. Occasionally you get surprised by some cool harmonics or tone on different guitars, assuming of course you aren't ordering it.

Awesome and thanks again, sorry to litter your album cover with spontaneous guitar banter :)

Not at all! you gave me an excuse to be a braggy asshole:P

Pfft seemed pretty nice and helpful to me ;D

Good ol' crazy lookin' Rainsong guitars. Nothing else like them.

Nice piccy. Good luck with your album!

The price came down a bit with an employee discount ;)

Thanks man. I hope to sell at least 25 of them.

I have one coming out in Nov/Dec and I hope to sell 100 in the long run. Why 100? Because I read a statistic that 95% of all albums never sell more than 100 copies. I wanna be just above failure, that would make me content.

Nice, any possibility of you showing up at a west cost con? It would be cool to pick one up in person.

Not much of a chance unless I somehow become a millionaire. Never been to a con, never been to the west coast. Never been to a west coast con. It WILL be on iTunes though so there's that, I guess.

ahh ok. i might pick it up there:)
