Atkin "White Rice" Sitka Spruce - Indian Rosewood #3665
SKU: ATKN-WR-SN3665The White Rice is Atkin's loving recreation of one of the most famous acoustic guitars in bluegrass: the dreadnought once owned by Clarence White and later by Tony Rice, hence the name. Its instantly recognizable enlarged soundhole and overhanging fretboard are reproduced here, and the bigger soundhole lets more air move in and out of the body for a voice Alister Atkin describes as sounding like a cannon, with an openness and resonance that goes beyond an ordinary dreadnought. A torrified Sitka spruce top with pre-war scalloped bracing sits over East Indian rosewood back and sides, dressed in herringbone purfling and grained ivoroid binding. Built by hand in Canterbury, England, serial number 3665 is a powerful, no-compromise flatpicking machine.
