The WS9000 is RainSong's new nylon string six-string that closely resembles the company's popular steel string models. The body is the same size and shape of RainSong's steel-string with a 14-fret, 20-inch radius neck and 1 3/4-inch nut. The WS9000 uses a patented Projection Tuned Layering™ soundboard especially resdesigned for nylon strings said to help produce a great presence with punch and volume along with the WS9000's deep body. There is a Fishman Blender pre-amp for the saddle piezo pickup and internal microphone if you want to amplify but the WS9000 is acoustically loud enough for most small clubs or coffee house.
