Santa Cruz Custom DH w/ European Spruce Top

The strength of the typical dreadnought guitar is in its power and volume, which are achieved by the guitar's large body size. The increased air space also gives the instrument a predisposition to the bass range, an asset to some playing styles and a detriment to others.

The Santa Cruz Model D has a unique tapered bracing voiced to enhance the midrange and treble without compromising the bass tones. This voicing gives the model D a more even balance and a greater versatility than traditionally braced dreadnoughts. We present the Model D to the guitarist who needs an instrument capable of great presence and balance, as well as the volume and power necessary to stand out in ensemble playing.

The European Spruce correspondingly complements the brightness and clarity of the instrument. Another custom addition is the herringbone purfling. Not only does this bring a classic, traditional look; but the process of applying the herringbone opens the top - allowing for more response.
