The only difference is the "Spirit" logo on the front of the guitar and the Dove fret markers.
This one isn't the standard model, however!

The majority of the spirit guitar had an outline of a dove, Gary told me he only made a few of the full dove fretboards.

I think that when Bob Rains turned the operation over to Gary Carpenter, the "Spirit" model was pretty much discontinued.

Clark I have spoken to Gary and I was under the impressions he is still making the D10 Rains and Curtis Hogue is making the SD10.

Maybe I'm assuming again Very Happy

My 2010 SD10 Rains has the "By Cary Carpenter" logo on it and my 2012 SD10 does not.
