The Tom Rush Naked Lady Acoustic Guitar

Our newest limited edition guitar - the Naked Lady, is now available for late spring delivery.

Designed in conjunction with Tom Rush, one of North America's great folk/roots legends it is destined to take its place among the iconic acoustic guitars of the last 100 years.

Only 250 will be produced with each guitar bearing a sequential serial number identifying the instrument as one of a unique limited collector's series. (i.e. #50 of 250).

When Tom Rush selected MacKenzie & Marr Guitars to reincarnate his famous Naked Lady acoustic guitar we set out to craft a guitar that would become the standard for the Dreadnaught of the 21st century. Mating rare High Altitude Tight Grain Western Cedar - a wood so special it has been called "Adirondack Redwood" because of the crisp snap of each note combined with a tremendous forward tonal projection - with Indian Rosewood gives the guitar a sound rich in overtones. One player (a techie to boot) dubbed the Naked Lady "Dreadnaught 2.0 - the first great acoustic of the 21st Century."

On-board sound enhancement is supplied by the L.R.Baggs Anthem system. We don't think there's a better electrical component available for acoustic performers. Tom Rush seems to agree. He's switching all of the pickups in his existing guitars to the Anthem.

Even the tuning machines are special. We strongly believe in high ratio tuners. All of our guitars come with at least an 18:1 ratio. For the Naked Lady we went one step farther and added a string locking knob, allowing a performer to change a broken string on stage in one tenth the time. Tom plays one of his best known tunes - Panama Limited - by replacing the high E string with a B. He does a lot of slide work throughout the song and he finds the thicker string does a better job. But that's only one song. After that he restrings. Needles to say he's sold on string locking.
