- The Tony Rice Style Bluegrass Guitar is a professional-grade acoustic-electric instrument inspired by one of the most influential flatpicking traditions in acoustic music. Designed with a large soundhole, premium tonewoods, and powerful dreadnought-style projection, this guitar is built for players seeking exceptional volume, clarity, and responsiveness for bluegrass, folk, and acoustic performance.
- The AAA Sitka spruce top delivers outstanding headroom, articulation, and dynamic response, allowing every note to cut through with clarity and authority. Paired with AAA Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar produces deep bass response, rich harmonic overtones, and impressive sustain. This classic tonewood combination has long been favored by professional bluegrass musicians for its balance, power, and tonal complexity.
- A large soundhole design enhances projection and openness, helping the guitar produce the bold, expansive voice associated with legendary bluegrass instruments. Scalloped X-bracing further improves resonance and responsiveness, allowing the soundboard to move freely while maintaining excellent structural integrity.
- The mahogany neck is joined with a traditional dovetail joint for long-term stability and efficient resonance transfer. A comfortable V-shaped neck profile, combined with a 45mm nut width and full 645mm scale length, provides the control and precision required for demanding flatpicking and fingerstyle techniques. With 21 frets, players benefit from extended range and greater versatility across the fretboard.
- Premium ebony is used for both the fretboard and bridge, providing smooth playability, durability, and enhanced tonal definition. Elegant pearl inlays and side dot markers improve visual appeal and fretboard navigation, while the full satin finish delivers a refined vintage-inspired appearance.
- Additional premium features include a bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins for improved sustain and tonal transfer, vintage-style tuner pegs for reliable tuning stability, and an installed soundhole pickup system for natural amplified performance on stage or in the studio.
