The Making of the CA Guitar Part 2/2

[zenfreestyler]

I don't get it, my uneducated *guess* is that it costs less to make, takes less time and effort to make a guitar out of carbon fibre and fibre glass then it does to make one out of wood, and yet they actually cost alot of money to buy, is that why they're out of business? 'To pricey?

@zenfreestyler

Probalby got too greedy. National Resophonic has a lot of the same technology but they work with steel and brass and wood. They maintain themselves by not being greedy and promise more than what they can deliver. USA company. Once you get greedy, you fail.

@jamescaptainfarrell Thats a totally different way of making an instrument, and an acoustic guitar is not a resophonic guitar. Wrong..... you are missing the truth. CA was putting out 12 guitars a day , the last day of production. The output couldn't meet the demand because of cash flow. More investing was needed to enlarge the production output. It never arrived. Spend money to make money.

@jf99151 they're back

@zenfreestyler go. buy a bolt of carbon fiber, buy the 2 part resin, buy the dispenser, buy the stainless steel mold, buy the parts, buy the mill that flattens the bridges, buy the paint, paint it, make the fretboard , make the bracing from carbon, apply the bracing, install electronics, buy the oven to cook it in, pay a bunch of Americans with high bills to pay every month, pay for NAMM booths, go to NAMM , pay for advertisements, buy cases, buy boxes, pay the heating and cooling bill ....

@jf99151 Honestly man, between that, and making a guitar out of wood etc I don't know which takes more effort, but I can assure that I won't be doing anything you mentioned there. So I'm not sure what your point is. If it means anything, I'm sure making a guitar at all is not easy.

I love the carbon vs. wood thing! it's hilarious! PEAVEY BOUGHT CA! THEY WILL BE BACK!!

[DistortedPerception1]

why do they do paint job?

let your guitars look like carbon parts on cars. Think this will be awesom

[RazzleTBlitz]

Composite Acoustics has gone out of business.

[ShowmetheBlues]

no wonder they cost so much more than other gutiars

they are well worth it

[benplaut]

Guitars come in all sorts of different costs, and CAs sound as good as their price would imply.

[yawningdogge]

Played one of these yesterday. I'm astonished at how well it sounded and played. I have no business dropping this much money on a guitar, but I'm going to anyway. I'm officially blown away.

[NeoFauve]

Funny, at the very end, that case is surprisingly traditional looking.

[jf99151]

@NeoFauve the case is a regular guitar case, same junk everyone else uses.

[restlessone]

nothing against carbon fiber but that wood vs. carbon (a la mac vs pc) was so freaking unnecessary and not funny at all.

[everysinglenamesgone]

It's amazing how much goes into these guitars.

[AaronGTV]
