Show Pony

Your single-cut work-horse

Not just for show, the Tone Ranger Guitars “Show Pony” model is meant to be rode hard and deliver every time. With the seated session player in mind, I shifted the neck forward and lengthened the contour of the waist, resulting in a voluptuous shape that sits perfectly balanced while providing superior upper fret access without the neck dive—even when standing. Inspired by Gretsch solid bodies of the ‘50s, the Show Pony’s wide tonal range includes the Nashville Sound, the Bakersfield Sound, and most importantly, Your Sound.
