[NAMM] RainSong Studio Series

Featuring a nonglossy finish, these instruments scale back on flashy appointments. The neck is made of Carbon fiber. The body features a combination of Carbon and Glass fiber, similar to the Hybrid Series introduced a year ago. Glass fibers soften the crystalline carbon tone to provide a mellow but resonant sound, the company says.

The Studio Series features the new N2 neck. This neck is a result of a collaboration with artist Steve Miller and master luthier John Bolin. While the N2 has a more substantial feel than the original RainSong 6-string neck, it is ergonomically sound and actually results in better transfer of string vibrational energy to the soundboard, Rain Song assures.

The Studio Series is being introduced with 3 models:
• S-DR1000N2 Dreadnought with Fishman Prefix+T electronics (Retail Price $1,867)
• S-WS1000N2 Deep-body cutaway with Fishman Prefix+T electronics (Retail Price $1,999)
• S-OM1000N2 Slim-body cutaway with Fishman Prefix+T electronics (Retail Price $1,999)

All models include a Customized gig bag.
