Touring the globe with Keith Urban, guitarist Brad Rice accumulated plenty of frequent flyer miles as well as hotel keys to boot. His collection of key cards inspired the design of his third and newest First Act custom guitar. Luthier Bill Jancar spent weeks piecing the cards into a mosaic, affixed them to the top of a Delia LS then finished it in a smooth epoxy layer. In Rice’s own words, “This guitar is unbelievable! It looks incredible and sounds fabulous!”
