The Santa Cruz Tony Rice model may be the ultimate bluegrass guitar but we wager its rich but focused bass response and clear, sparkling trebles will find favor with musicians who play a variety of styles. This example has Indian rosewood back and sides, a German spruce top and Adirondack spruce top braces that were assembled with hot hide glue. The top has a subtle tint to give it a nicely suntanned look right out of the box.
