I'm reluctantly putting up my Rains for sale due to several factors - not the least of which is the passing of my teacher, the great Mike Auldridge. But I'm getting into bluegrass these days, and as you all know, they frown a bit on the PSG in those circles. Anyway, the instrument is in pristine condition, rarely played, as I got it about the time Mike stopped teaching. It's Emmons setup (I'll send the exact copedent to anyone wanting it, just PM me).
I am also throwing in a Peterson strobe tuner (Stomp 2), 5 sets of strings, a Hilton volume pedal, a bar, picks, a cover, and whatever else I can find laying around. It also has a case in new condition. The pedal rods are numbered for easy reassembly. And of course it has hex nuts to help you perfectly tune all the splits you want.
I'm asking $3,000 for the lot, shipped anywhere in the lower 48. If you want it, I'll even throw in a drummers throne, just pay shipping on that. Pictures below. Thanks for looking.

Joe, your gonna love that. I would've bought that myself
last week when I first saw, but I had just bought my wife
a new car the day before he posted it, and that broke me.
That's the same Blue as I have on one of my Rittenberry's.
You'll get many years of enjoyment from that for sure

They frown on a lot of things in those circles.  Well, maybe that has just been my experience with them.
Bump for a great guitar with an excellent reputation. |

Tim, thanks and again, please contact me and make plans to make it to one of our jams sometime soon! The Rains was a hit last night at the jam. I've brass-wooled the end plates, legs and pedal bar and used some jeweler's compound to give it all a high polish, WOW this guitar is built with ultra high quality materials!!!!!!!!

Congratulations of being an owner of a great steel. |

I will be up there in a couple of weeks! Be sure to check it out. I would love for someone who knows what they are doing to sit behind it so I can hear what it is supposed to sound like!
One thing I was very pleased with is the blue on this guitar is VERY dark. In the pics that were originally posted it looks light, but it's actually a very dark navy blue, almost black which I absolutely love much more so than they way it looks in the pics.
