Friends,as most of you know I have been playing a Rains PSG for the best part of a year now and I am proud to announce that I have officialy signed on now as the representative and spokesman for the Rains PSG.Co.
I truely believe in these guitars and having played one for a while I also believe this guitar will be a dominate force in the steel guitar market soon.In the short time since thier birth they have already made a name to be talked about and a great guitar to back it up.This PSG in MHO has it all,sustain,string seperation,clearness above the 15th fret,craftmanship,and looks to name a few.
The Rains PSG will have a booth at most all the shows this year,please stop by the booth in Dallas and try one out for yourself,you'll see just what im talking about.Visit the Rains website at, www.rainssteelguitars.com
See you all in Dallas.

Fred Justice is one of the "GOOD GUYS" in our steel guitar community. I might add that Fred is a great player. I have heard Fred master really difficult songs. Fred knows guitars and how a steel guitar is supposed to sound. Fred Justice has always impressed me, and I consider him a friend.

Fantastic job in Abilene!!!! You and the Rains sounded GREAT!! I recored the show as you know and now have it on CD. E mail me with your address and I will send you a copy. Fred tell any of those people that wanted to buy a copy they are ready if you will, I cant remember all who asked. We are selling some to raise funds for next years show to help with advertising cost and such. I am excited about working with Larry Toliver and Rany Palomore to make this Abilene jam a big success!! Thanks to all. Doyle

Well I see they don't have any 12 string guitars so I guess they'll never see any of my cash..........JH in Va.

Fred, you did a super job in Abilene and I can't think of a better rep for the Rains guitar. Enjoyed your set and meeting you. You know you're welcome in west Texas anytime, but you have to play for us.

Bobby Rains hinted to me he JUST MIGHT MAKE a 12 string horn. Remember I said he just hinted, no commitment.

I sent an E-mail to the Rains co. right after they were talked about here on the forum,asking about a Universal 12 steel, and that I would like to buy one, But as of this date, they have never even answered my e-mail to say if they were or were NOT going to build any Universal 12's.
What kind of customer relationship is that?

Billy,sorry for the delayed reply here.
At the present time there are no production plans for a 12 string however that could change down the road in time,hope this helps.

Billy, So sorry about no answer to your e-mail. I have no record of one from you. I did change from AOL to SBC in the recent past so maybe I missed it that way. As you know by now we aren't making any 12 strings at this time. Thank you for your interest. Bob Rains
