Santa Cruz Tony Rice Signature (2014)

Guitarist Tony Rice is known for his incredible flatpicking technique and has been a highly renowned name in the Bluegrass scene since the 1970s. Richard Hoover from Santa Cruz and Tony Rice worked together for many years to create one of the best contemporary Bluegrass guitars, which can do so much more. The name Santa Cruz has always been synonymous with top-of-the-line acoustic guitars, but what the Californians have delivered with the creation of the “Tony Rice Signature” is sure to knock the socks off even the most discerning connoisseurs of this exclusive company. This acoustic guitar is based on Rice's original D-28 and features Santa Cruz's signature lightweight construction with a soundmighty spruce top and rosewood back and sides. In Tony's own words: “This is a guitar you can go to war with.” Voluminous, striking bass reproduction without booming, distinctly sparkling highs, superbly differentiated and a harmonious, direct and assertive overall sound! Whether strumming or fingerpicking, this guitar always performs at its best and spoils the player with an absolutely top-notch sound that is rarely heard even on the finest acoustics. Beautiful look with ivoroid binding, herringbone inlays on the top, back and rosette and a deep dark ebony fingerboard. The neck fits perfectly in your hand with its comfortable “Soft V” profile and invites you to play for hours on end, savoring every note. We are delighted to offer you this exclusive acoustic guitar in top condition.
