TR – Tony Rice – Natural

Includes a hardshell case and a professional set up by our in-house luthiers.

From Santa Cruz:

The Tony Rice Signature Modelrepresents over 30 years of collaboration between the worlds foremost flatpicking icon and SCGCs founding luthier, Richard Hoover. Todays model incorporates decades of refinement in response to players demands and the sophisticated evolution of the masters technique. Never intended to be a copy of Mr. Rices iconic 1935 Martin D-28, the TR Model is voiced to showcase his stellar lead work with influences from Clarence White to John Coltrane. This guitar delivers exactly what the contemporary flatpicking artist needs: substantial treble and midrange for rapid single-line lead, clean note separation for definition and the traditional bass boom without the woofy bottom end of some of the venerable Pre-war dreadnoughts. Master grade Indian Rosewood and old Sitka Spruce give this instrument a professional presence at an attainable price.
