Santa Cruz Vintage Artist (Sitka/Mahogany)

Doc Watson's favorite Santa Cruz - that statement holds some serious weight. The Vintage Artist model features a powerful bass response combined with the bright tone provided by the guitar's mahogany body.

This model's prized deep, rolling bass response is achieved by both advancing the scalloped X-brace towards the soundhole and by our meticulous attention to top voicing. The separation and clarity of tone produced by the guitar are characteristic of the style of the legendary Doc Watson, who owns the prototype of the Vintage Artist. As Doc says, This is the Dreadnought I've been looking for all my life. In our opinion, the Vintage Artist is the tonal equal and technical superior of the most respected pre-World War II mahogany dreadnoughts. If it does it for Doc, then who am I to argue!
