Take a great dreadnought and add time, and you get a power player like this 2008 Santa Cruz Tony Rice Pro. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with European Spruce top and enlarged soundhole, 25.25″ scale, herringbone appointments, and a slender neck plus 1 11/16″ nut width. The voice is quick and crisp, mixes up great across the registers, and has heads of headroom. This particular SCGC TR Professional was customized with Adirondack Spruce bracing and hide glue construction, plus nickel Waverly tuners. This guitar was originally spec’d out with a Brazilian Rosewood set from then production manager Dan Roberts, and the top is french polished. This beauty came about no longer after Tony’s personal guitar was built in 2007.

I'm pretty sure we all love Tony Rice's playing. Simply one of the very best, innovative and inspiring. His namesake model from Santa Cruz is a truly a professional grade guitar as the name implies. Equally at home on a festival stage, in a studio or, if you lucky, on your front porch. Just a great box.
This one mixes up so well from the bass to the trebles with great string energy, and a projecting, punchy quality that I really like. Slender necks aren't usually my jam, but this one feels great.
