The Santa Cruz Tony Rice Professional D was developed in collaboration with one of bluegrass music's most influential guitarists, combining prewar-inspired dreadnought design with Santa Cruz's own approach to voicing and construction. This 1998 example has been well-played over the years. Several cracks—including center top cracks beneath the bridge with a spline, a treble-side waist crack, and a center back crack—have been professionally repaired and cleated, and the guitar remains in good overall condition. Its open, seasoned response speaks to years of playing, while the repairs have preserved its structural integrity. For anyone who appreciates a guitar with an honest history, this Professional D offers the character of a well-loved instrument from one of the premier boutique builders of the era.Includes white Calton hard shell case.
