In addition to its new body shape and short 24 7/8–inch scale, the Shorty has RainSong’s new unidirectional carbon-fiber soundboard (introduced on the Concert Series) that mimics the grain pattern of a traditional spruce top and is the lightest soundboard RainSong has produced to date. As on typical guitars with 12-fret necks, the bridge is positioned in the center of the lower bout, which drives the top more efficiently and enhances bass and volume output. The Shorty’s back and sides are constructed of a carbon-fiber/glass-fiber hybrid that keeps the overall weight light while it provides greater strength and projection than typical tonewoods. RainSong offers the Shorty SG (reviewed here) with a high-gloss polyurethane finish and the Shorty SFT with a matte “finely textured” polyurethane finish. The Shorty also comes with a built-in Fishman Prefix Plus-T preamp/pickup system.
