Review of CA Guitars (Composite Acoustics) 7iM-CE, I Series

You may have heard about the new I Series from CA Guitars (Composite Acoustics), yet wonder about how the instruments sound. "Wow!" was my first thought upon playing a 7iM-CEfor the first time. CA Guitars' statement that the I Series models have "a deeper low end response than most acoustic guitars" is definitely an understatement. The low E and A strings have the deep, mellow, resonance of an upright bass, but, that bass does not overpower the mids and highs. It almost sounds as though two separate instruments are being played. I like to play a slow version of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", plucking out the melody on the high E and B strings, while plucking out the chord root notes on the bass strings. It sounds as though I've got a bass player playing along. I played the same tune strumming a full chord, too, instead of just the root note, and the 7iM-CE produced a full, resonant sound.

Next, I used a glass slide. Carbon fiber guitars are great for slide playing: You do not get the same resonance and sustain as you would from a resophonic guitar, yet you do get much better resonance and sustain than you would from a wooden acoustic guitar. And, you won't get that metallic sound with carbon fiber. The 7iM-CE compares well with a slide compared to other carbon fiber guitars, although with a deeper, slightly more resonant tone, along with bit of a metallic sound (although nothing like the tone that comes from a resophonic guitar).

Many guitarists purchase carbon fiber guitars for the convenience of not having to worry about humidity and temperature changes. Yet, with CA Guitars new i Series, I believe that people will buy for the sound first, and the worry-free aspect will be an added bonus.
