Creation of the NRS

While on tour through the state of Wyoming, singer-songwriter Noel Rosa was introduced to Scott Platts, owner of the Stonetree Guitar Company, at an outdoor festival through a mutual friend, a local minister in the small town of Saratoga. Scott invited Noel to visit his guitar shop, and Noel was amazed at the quality and craftsmanship of the electric guitars Scott built. He quickly became a lifelong fan of Stonetree guitars. Noel challenged Scott to build him a thin-body acoustic that had the same refined characteristics as the electrics. A year later Scott contacted Noel and the two began collaboration on the design of what is now known as the Stonetree NRS, the lightest thin-body acoustic guitar in its class.
