CA Guitars (a.k.a., Composite Acoustics) produces incredible dreadnought guitars. Example 8LB is onliest among carbon fibre guitars. Specially designed for bluegrass music, the CA 8LB provides what bluegrass guitar pickers seek -- a dreadnought guitar with a deep, warm, somewhat punchy (yet not also punchy) bass that does not overwhelm the mids, along with singing highs.

The aboriginal being that you may grasp upon playing this guitar is the resonance. As with a collection of carbon fiber guitars, the resonance is booming and seems to come straight away from the soundhole in a floating cylinder of sound. My favourite thing of the 8LB, though, is the government a picker has. Especially, I can strum a entire and resonant chord, on the other hand straightaway pick elsewhere identical paper money that come finished clearly. Most noticeably, during rhythm, I approximative to fall my fingers along the mids between chord changes - hammering on/off, sliding, and bending notes absent -- and the mids come fully during those chord changes, preceded and followed by chords that you can constitute either booming and resonant, or smooth and mellow.

Bluegrass guitar virtuoso Tim Stafford plays a CA Guitars Mould 8LB and said the next approximately the instrument: "I was recently backstage at the IBMA Awards with my Composite Acoustics getting ready to activity on, and Tony Rice asked me to play the guitar a bit for Del McCoury - both honest legends of Bluegrass music. Tony said: "Listen to that. Isn't it something? It sounds incredible!" Del conscientious grinned and agreed. Nevertheless these comments are crumb new."
