Composite Acoustics Vintage Performer 2008 , Carbon Fiber

This 2008 Composite Acoustics Vintage Performer blends modern materials with a traditional slope-shoulder design, built entirely from carbon fiber. It features added arm and thigh rests for improved comfort, and while there are light signs of wear—mostly on the fingerboard—it remains in solid condition. The tone is surprisingly open and boomy, with a low-end presence that’s uncommon in carbon fiber instruments. It responds well to a heavy hand but retains clarity when played lighter. A practical, road or canoe-ready take on a classic shape with a voice all its own.
