Charlie, there was a post on here a few weeks back that some one started with a list of Rains players, if you do a search you should find it. But i'll be glad to get on this one too.
That's a beutiful Rains you have there, i hav'nt figured out how to post a picture on here except for image cave.

I bought a Rains SD-10 in November, 2004. I decided I couldn't do without the C6 neck, so I got a D-10 in August, 2005. They are, by far, the best sounding, best built steels I've ever played in my 56 years of playing. If someone can post them for me, I can e-mail pictures of both guitars.

Bob, send them to me and I'll post them for you. Ray

Ray,
Thanks sooooo much for posting the picture. This guitar is really loaded down. It has 9 foot pedals and 10, (yes, 10) knee levers. I had Bob split the right knee levers for each neck. There is a separate set of knees for the E9th neck and another set for the C6th neck. Makes them a lot easier to push.

I own the third one biult. It's the blue one that Buddy E. is playing on the Rains website.

I own a black D-10 -- bought if off of James Parker. I can't confirm it, but this is supposedly the guitar Hal Rugg was playing in the pictures from the 2005 Texas Steel Guitar Jamboree on the Rains web site. Great guitar!! A wonderful experience every time I sit down with it.

Other than there great beautiful finishs, what do you think is different about the Rains Steel that the other mfg don't have?
Or, what makes the rains a 'special' guitar. I am certainly impressed with the pictures.
