The Black Ice Series
embodies Artistry. Each instrument is unique. The soundboard on each
guitar is meticulously crafted to achieve an aesthetically pleasing
appearance without overbuilding it. Each soundboard is individually
conceived so every guitar is unique. Unique in design and unique in
tone.
The WS is a wonderfully
versatile guitar. Combining the best qualities of large and small
bodied guitars, this body shape is ideally suited for a variety of
musical situations. A large, deep chamber gives the WS strong
projection and rich bass. The narrow waist and tight upper bout
allow for a ringing treble, good balance and clear definition of
individual notes. Overall, the WS is impeccably balanced. The
shapely curves and light weight make the WS a comfortable guitar to
cradle or stand with. The extra deep cutaway encourages playing up
the fretboard.
The N2 neck is a result
of an extensive, long-term collaboration with the renowned artist
Steve Miller and Master Luthier John Bolin. The neck design is
based on a modified "U" profile that has been popular in guitars
since the 1950s. 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 vibration energy to
the soundboard. The N2 features a truss rod that is accessible from
the head stock. Graphite does not warp or bow with changes in
humidity and temperature. The purpose of a truss rod in the N2 is to
allow customization of the relief to suit individual preferences.
