Acoustic Guitar reviews the RainSong SMCX guitar


As a stickler for wooden guitars, I usually have the same two-part response when checking out a new RainSong guitar—first, a dissonant reaction to its space-age construction, then marveling at its playability and sound. Auditioning the SMCX, the flagship model from the new Smokey series, proved no exception. Though the carbon used in the guitar’s manufacture might be more commonly found in spaceships and cars, it once again proves supremely musical.

  • Like everyone said, the strings sound dead (or cheap AF). I got hints of depth off of the low E string at certain points. I'd like to hear it with Elixir 12's on it before I pass judgement. Can't tell if guitar is making the strings sound dead or if the strings are no good.
    For the record, I like new string sound on electrics, but don't like the super new string tones that nearly sound like 12 string guitars in their overwhelming brightness. But there is a difference between strings that have been broken in and dead strings.

  • I don't know if that guitar needs new strings or not, but it doesn't sound all that good to me. I'll take my martin d18, or my takamine which sounds great after I had new strings put on it over that guitar.
