Sound Pure's Take
Worn but far from weary, this player's guitar received plenty of loving attention from our luthier to get it back up to 100%. Don't let those scars scare you--this dread has opened up into a wizened, powerful instrument over the years and is ready for another lifetime of playing, be it on the stage or the sofa!
Condition: Used, Fair
Guitar has finish checking on the top and our luthier repaired and touched up a crack in the back. Both afflictions are photoed and in the gallery.
From Santa Cruz Guitars
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.
