It’s been a long time since I’ve played a RainSong, but I remember them to be very nice. I was working in a music store in the mid ’90s when they first came onto the scene. At the time, they sent out a killer music sampler of artists playing the guitars. I still have it and listen to it on occasion. If anyone is interested, leave a comment and I’ll send you the mp3s.
