Rice Custom Guitar #141

   Check out this sweet Rice Custom guitar. The guitars owner was out in the store checking out amps when
I walked by and heard a great sounding guitar. When the guitar turned out to be a real looker,the owner was kind enough to let me snap a few photos.

   We've got an Osage orange neck and a body made of Osage orange,Walnut,Pecan and Mesquite. The pickups are a Velvet Hammer VHTBX in the bridge and a Lace Alumitone in the neck with a custom wired 5-way switch. It's got a fossil ivory nut, a D-tuner and is wired with Fret Fx lights.

 The B-Bender is a Bill Bores long throw. The fine workmanship on the cover and the lack of a B string ferrule leave little doubt the B-Bender was there from the beginning and not an add on.The blue tape is to obscure the custom neck plates photo of the owner's lady friend's...uh lady parts.
