I had recently posted the "I'm So Confused" topic. I have pretty much narrowed down my choices to either a Fessenden or a Rains. I guess a did a little too MUCH research and found "issues" (I hate that word) with both. I just want to make the right decision upon my "re-entry" to the PS world. Any advice.....or should I just flip a coin???

Flip the coin, both are good guitars,
You need to think about two things:
1.The cost
2. Which one appeals to your eye
Both Gary & Jerry stand behind there guitars...and build good ones, "YOU" need to make your pick not all of "us" here on the fourm... |

Jim, David is so WRIGHT. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
Both are FINE guitars. There is no "correct" decision.
Go with your gut.
You're just delaying your re-entry back into the psg!!
Life is short.
Come on in- The water's fine! |

Drove up to Fort Worth earlier and selected a gorgeous rosewood Rains SD-10. I supprised I could quit playing it long enough to post a reply. After 9 hours on the road....I think it's gonna be an "all nighter". Thanks again to everyone for their support. Couldn't have done it without you!!!
