The original guitar on which this fine Limited Edition is based is owned and played by former flatpicking champion, Tony Rice. An exceptional bluegrass/newgrass instrument for players seeking a genuinely different, real Martin guitar and benefitting from great depth of tone delivered by the Adirondack Spruce Top and the enhanced midrange that the enlarged soundhole elicits.
