Thanks Gary Carpenter for this lovely guitar, Thanks Dave for collecting it. Its a beautiful instrument and hopefully by leaving it at David Hartleys house all this time, he has left the 'footprint' on it ready to stick to my fingers!

Don't even think about it, Flash! Those are not some new fangled kind of fire hydrants....

Nice horns, guys.

I had some type of mental break down recently and was thinking about trading my Rains off for a D10 of some sort but I finally got my mind right as Pete Walthall would say. I really do love my RAINS!

Congrats Victor! Welcome to the family.

Here is a picture of my dog,Lucy, waiting next to me in the studio while I cut some tracks with my Rains. I get requests from producers to bring her along. She is a great dog. Not a JR though. She is a PBGV.

Greg Leisz has a Jack Russell.

Not to hijack the thread, but David, my late father had a Jack Russell just like yours. He was a great little companion for Dad after Mom passed on in '02. Dad followed in '04 and we had to get the dog a new home. Great looking stable of Rains guitars too! :) jc
