This Tony Rice Model delivers a tonal profile sought after by players worldwide. The Adirondack spruce top provides a dynamic range and clear articulation, while the old-growth Brazilian rosewood back and sides contribute depth, warmth, and shimmering overtones. The forward-shifted bracing ensures outstanding power and responsiveness, ideal for flatpicking, strumming, or fingerstyle.
