Rains S-10

Post by Tommy Auldridge »

Is Rains steel guitars still in busines? Also, wondering if they ever made an S-10 3x5.. I'd like to have one. Thanks, Tommy.....

Hi Tommy,

I'm not sure about Rains making a single neck. All I
have ever seen are the sd10's and double necks.

I have a Rains red, sd-10 and I can tell you they are
wonderful guitars.

I know Gary built the double necks and Curtis Hogue
built most of the sd10's. It just happens, Gary built
my sd10.

It's a keeper, as far as I'm concerned. Good luck on
finding a Rains.

Tommy, I forgot to add, Gary and Curtis have stopped
building the Rains guitars a year or two ago.

I asked Carp. There are no S10 Rains. He did build the Carpsteel though.
