This Radio Grande is a particularly special piece of acoustic guitar history, being number 37 of just 100 made in 1994. Its large body pairs a gloss-finished spruce top with a two-piece rosewood back and sides, giving the guitar the combination of clarity, warmth, and depth you would expect from a substantial rosewood acoustic. Scalloped X bracing helps the body respond with plenty of resonance and dynamic range, while the cream binding, black-and-cream rosette, and firestripe pickguard give it a timeless, vintage-inspired appearance.

The 25" scale and 1.75" nut make for a comfortable, spacious feel, while the V-profile mahogany neck gives the guitar a distinctly traditional character in the hand. A rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl geometric inlays adds an elegant touch, and the dovetail neck joint and gloss finish reinforce the instrument's classic construction. With no electronics, this is an acoustic designed to be experienced naturally, letting the spruce and rosewood combination speak with an open, detailed voice whether you're working through intricate fingerstyle passages or laying into full chords.

The Radio Grande's details are finished with a rosewood rectangular bridge, synthetic bone saddle and nut, white bridge pins with mother-of-pearl dots, and Kluson tuners. The matching Radio Grande headstock carries the Roy Smeck designation, adding to the historical personality of an instrument built in a very limited run. This rare guitar offers both a distinctive playing experience and genuine collectibility for players who appreciate unusual, thoughtfully crafted acoustic instruments. Available now at Haggerty's Music.
