The guitar I had bought from Gary Phillips was severely damaged in shipping back to Rains (Bob was going to put two more knees and my copedent on it). Since Bob Rains knew I really wanted a "Spirit" model, he is giving me credit for what I paid Gary toward a new guitar. I would love to get a Rosewood mica (think of that pic of Bill Simmons Emmons) but Bob told me this morning that he may not be able to get Rosewood mica.

I have a gloss black Emmons at present so I really don't want another black guitar. I'm hoping you guys who have Rains, will post pics or email me pics of your guitars.

Thanks!

Steve,
This shipping thing with Steel Guitars always scares me everytime I have to send one out. Did you guys have the Rains insured, where you won't loose out too badly on it?
BTW, I think Jimmie Crawford may have had some glossy rosewood that never got used before he died. You might check with Elsie to see if she'd sell you some. NR

Hopefully, I'll have some pictures before too long. My Spirit model D-10 Rains is supposed to be completed and shipped this week. I hope, I hope!

Ken,
I'll tell you what I'm working on at present. I bought a southern gospel CD set at Wally World a while back and it had "Release Me" on it by the Kingsmen quartet. Not the Ray Price version but the gospel version. I located an old 1954 copy of "Hillbilly and Cowboy Hit Parade" and found "Release Me" in it. I copied the gospel lyrics to the sheet music and I'm planning to tab it out. The Rains might be the guitar to try it out on!
