Oh, to play a Dreadnought that hits that sweet, sweet line between loud strummer and articulate fingerpicker–it's like a dream come true. Well, dream no further! This 2003 Santa Cruz is just such a Dreadnought. Decked out in East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce and braced with Santa Cruz Guitar Company's modified radiused bracing system, this Tony Rice Signature Model performs at its best regardless of application. For the fingerstylist who also enjoys a light to medium attack with a pick, this Dreadnought's worth checking out. The craftsmen under Richard Hoover have carved a neck with a slim profile and a perfect setup that's effortless to fret, making this a surprisingly light guitar for all its projection. The low end is clear and articulate, and the middle registers are even and balanced. Following their aesthetic of traditional appointments, this Tony Rice Signature Model has Grained Ivoroid bindings and Herringbone trim. Dynamic and versatile, you won't find many guitars that perform so well in so many environments.
It's just a breeze to play, and can either whisper or shout, depending on your mood. Whatever mode you're in, this Santa Cruz can keep up just fine. 
They nailed the sound with this guitar. It has plenty of punch without sacrificing low frequencies or high overtones. It's fun to play and is set up perfectly. | Scale Length | 25.44 in |
