Rick Hanes Guitars release the Chris Bickley DR Pro signature model. The DR Pro Series has been setup by PLEK Machine (a computer controlled device that scans and dresses guitars under actual playing conditions, strung and tuned to pitch. This is a major breakthrough since PLEK not only identifies precisely what needs to be done for perfect fretwork but also executes the adjustments itself to deliver perfect results on each instrument).

This guitar is truly amazing…
how about comparing with previous DR on the Hall of Fame, sound characteristic or playability?
Both are fantastic: Rick Hanes DR Medium and Rick Hanes Chris Bickley DR Pro’s playability are flawless, but the difference is Rick Hanes Chris Bickley has additional Graphtech Piezzo with an excellent acoustic sound.
I think they all have an equal quality in playability. Sound characteristic is about personal preference, anyway I love them both!
