Some minor shop wear in the form of a small chip in the finish on the binding (bass side, upper bout - see pictures for detail), forces us to sell this one at a larger than usual discount. This guitar is being sold as pre-owned with no factory warranty, though it is otherwise in new condition with no play wear and includes the original Santa Cruz hard-shell case. This will make a great guitar for someone at an unbeatable price!
Tony Rice is the master of contemporary bluegrass guitar. He has enhanced his traditional background with influences ranging from Clarence White to John Coltrane, thereby creating a style that demands more from a guitar than a typical vintage dreadnought can offer. Tony's legendary 1930s D-28, previously owned by Clarence White, served as the model for an instrument design that combines the bass presence of the old D-28 with more substantial midrange and treble response, which is necessary for Tony's modern lead work. The sophisticated tone in the higher ranges of this guitar will inspire flatpickers to explore new territory. The Tony Rice Model is the result of a 12-year collaboration with Tony Rice, and is the epitome of a contemporary bluegrass guitar
This Tony Rice has a custom German Spruce top, and has a bold, even tone. It also features a Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay, and a Santa Cruz Logo Inlay at the 16th fret - emulating the Tony Rice Professional.
