SOLD: Santa Cruz Custom OM Pre-War w/ Mahogany Body, Sunburst

Santa Cruz Custom OM Pre-War w/ Mahogany Body, Sunburst

The OM Pre-War Model is designed with many of the features in bracing and tone that the emerging singer-songwriter, the working musician, or a serious amateur will find desirable at a price before unheard of in guitars of this caliber.

The advanced X braces, which is the bracing pattern Pre-War refers to, is a good tonal option for those using the guitar for smaller accompaniment or rhythm. This style bracing gives the smaller bodied OM an incredible presence and bass response, yet retains a good balance with strong midrange and bright powerful response.

This custom OMPW features a mahogany body and sunburst finish top.

SOLD: Santa Cruz TR (Tony Rice) Model

Santa Cruz TR (Tony Rice) Model

Tony Rice is the master of contemporary bluegrass guitar. He has enhanced his traditional background with influences ranging from Clarence White to John Coltrane, thereby creating a style that demands more from a guitar than a typical vintage dreadnought can offer. Tony's legendary 1930s D-28, previously owned by Clarence White, served as the model for an instrument design that combines the bass presence of the old D-28 with more substantial midrange and treble response, which is necessary for Tony's modern lead work. The sophisticated tone in the higher ranges of this guitar will inspire flatpickers to explore new territory. The Tony Rice Model is the result of a 12-year collaboration with Tony Rice, and is the epitome of a contemporary bluegrass guitar

SOLD: Santa Cruz Custom OO

Santa Cruz Custom OO

The 12-fret OO is in many ways a smaller version of the 12-fret OOO. The OO's scale is shorter than a standard dreadnought and the body size is close to that of a classical guitar. The short scale of this model lends a sweet and light quality to the tone. The OO is further differentiated by its unique rectangular bridge. This model is ideal for players seeking a warm and intimate tone.

This custom OO features a rich cedar top.

SOLD: Santa Cruz Guitar Company Custom Roy Southerner Jumbo

Santa Cruz Guitar Company Custom Roy Southerner Jumbo

The new SCGC RS model is another modern interpretation of a vintage Gibson jumbo. We have had great successes with our previous "Slope Shoulder Classic" inspired instruments. For these slope shoulder jumbos we choose perfectly quarter sawn, narrow, stiff, spruce brace stock, and then we double taper it. The first taper extends out beyond the bridge plate and then the second taper drops to the linings. This heavily knifed bracing style is something unique to Santa Cruz that we developed exclusively to create the woody, dry, explosive tone that the old Gibsons were prized for. It creates a light low mass brace, while not losing the snap and explosiveness that can be the result of a scalloped bracing design.

Santa Cruz built it with an extra deep box, moved the sound hole south and joined the neck at the 12th fret. They gave it a 1 13/16" nut and 2 5/16" spacing at the bridge so it leans toward a modern fingerstyle setup specs but can be played with a pick just fine as well.

SCGC also bound it with tortoiseshell, put a light tobacco finish on the mahogany sides, back, and neck and a rich tobacco and amber sunburst on the top. Black binding on the fingerboard, and an ebony headstock overlay complete its elegant vintage appearance.

This model has custom fretboard inlays. Read More »

SOLD: Santa Cruz H 13 Custom Mahogany w/ Sunburst Finish

Santa Cruz H 13 Custom Mahogany w/ Sunburst Finish

With its player-driven design that has 13 frets clear of the body, plus special soundhole and bridge locations, Santa Cruz Guitar Company's H 13 Fret joins the SCGC H lineup with a sweet tone that capitalizes upon the best attributes of a 12-fret's resonance and a 14-fret's access. As a result, it's ideally suited to fingerpicking, coaxing the sonic character of each note while projecting an overall tonal depth.

Despite its small appearance, the H 13 Fret employs a body depth approaching that of a much larger dreadnought-sized guitar, producing extra volume and bass support to bolster its rich tone. Its comfortable size and complex tonal characteristics make it especially appealing to traditional players, soloists, and recording artists who demand maximum warmth and tonal versatility.

Features of the handcrafted H 13 Fret include a specially hand-tuned bracing system beneath its Mahogany top, a slotted headstock for classic style and enhanced string angle and sustain, and an ebony 1 x 6 pyramid rectangular bridge. The sides and back are select mahogany, and the mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard with a total of 19 frets. An ebony headstock overlay and the wide ebony bridge with pyramid-style detailing add to the classic appearance.
