Rains steel guitars

[Terry Sneed]

Just wondering if Rains steel guitars has a new owner? I noticed one for sale here on the forum.

Gee, I must have missed seeing that one. Rains steel guitars are wonderful guitars and hardly
ever come up for sale.

It would be nice, if Gary and Curtis began making them again. I'm sure they would have no
problem, getting buyers.

Douglas, I sure wish they would! I've got a Rains single with pad and love the guitar! But I'm on edge thinking something gonna break on it. Lol They are great guitars in every way! I love the tone and ease of playing! Sure wish somebody would start making them again!

[Douglas Cresanta]

You and me both, Terry. I think I know why so few of them show up for sale, is the fact, they are really great
guitars and guys aren't interested in letting them go. As you mentioned, great tone, ease of playing. so smooth.
Also, I think they are undervalued and perhaps, underappreciated, as to what a great guitar they are.

I have mine serviced by John Widgren, once a year and he told me anytime I wanted to let it go, please let him
know first, as he would love to have it in his collection. Well, my Rains, is going nowhere. It's my keeper!

I spoke with Curtis a little over a year ago about making steels again and he threw out a teaser to me: He said,
" He would like to make a Black Rains, with ivory inlay for me." Don't I wish.
