It's not the guitar that makes the player, Tony Rice, whose guitar tone was so coveted by so many played a lyrachord bowl back Ovation on the title cut of his landmark Manzanita LP and on all the cuts but one on his Backwaters album, a personal favorite of mine. I'd always assumed he was using his famous pre war D-28 to get those sounds but it seems they emanated from his head, heart and hands.
But still, it's always fun to talk about guitarists and their instruments.
