The Steel Guitar Forum

Yes Indeed.....

Keeney you ought to bring all them to the next WTSGA meeting. I for one would be interested to see how you play them all at once? Just kiddin, I'm just as bad with my Zums.

It's also nice to have rains in Minnesota:

Erv, it's good to have a Rains no matter where you live.
blue looks great also.

Jim,
The cabinet was made by Mark Giles.
There is mother-of-pearl inlay on the front and the fret markers are mother-of-pearl doves.
Bob built it for a steeler in Canada and I was lucky enough to buy it from him.

Erv, both Bob and Mark are good people to be around. Bob lives about 50 miles to the north and Mark lives 50 miles to the south east of Brownwood.

And yes the Rains are great guitars.

Thanks, Jim

Called Gary Sunday he fixed me up on the phone was a simple fix.Love my Rains

Ernie

Even though I don't have a Rains guitar at the present, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them or Gary Carpenter. Both are first class. A lot of compliments on tone while playing a Rains.
