I've had my black RayBay for over a year now, just keeps sounding better and better... Yep, the quality of design & workmanship is a real winner - keep up the great work, Ted!

Totally agreed on all points - excellent CD. This guy can play, and has a style all his own - try to follow some of those licks - whoa! FYI, so happens I wound up with two of these (bought one, and received one as a gift - such timimg), so, for anyone thinking of picking this one up, I'll send you m...

Todd, I bought a new CC8 a couple of years ago, and am still very glad I did. Great action, tone & sustain. Mine is clear-coated natural maple with all black hardware, which looks great, too.

Anyone waiting for one of these is in for a delightful treat - Just received my black RayBay model Friday (a year in the making), and the wait was well worth it - The look, finish & sound are incredible. Thanks to Ted for honing the design & manufacuring process to a level where this fibergl...
