Now in Stock: Santa Cruz custom Dreadnought

Custom options/Upgrades/Remarks: Jacaranda/Amazon,

The Santa Cruz D Model is built for Dreadnought players looking for a powerful and loud, but also refined with impressive definition. An absolutely gorgeous guitar, with amazingly grained Jacaranda or if you like- Amazon Rosewood, the species name is Dalbergia Spruceana and it's the closest to Brazilian rosewood you can get. In fact playing this guitar made us doubt if there is a tonal difference at all. The only difference is the amount of a certain acid and contains of water, one of them will float on the water, the other one will sink the experts say. (we won't test it that way) The wood contains beautiful structure and colours from red to almost black and violet to purple, dark brown to Light brown. And it is probably one of the best SCGC we ever played, The bass response is strong and clear, without getting muddy, Impressive V8 American style powerful and in capable hands a mighty bluegrass- machine but also an elegant fingerstyle guitar, or if you are mainly a strummer like me- it's one hell of a strummer guitars also.

Tone and appearance of this guitar are really outrageous.  Also in the nice small details it's just a bit different, like the stylish ivoroid bound body, ebony fingerboard and ebony peghead, the open back quality Waverly tuners, the minimalistic 2 mm dot inlays, the beautiful colorful back-centre strip and the ivoroid endpin wedge and heel cap. Other features include: mahogany neck, bone nut and compensated bone saddle,  rounded C profile neck, 43mm (1 11/16”) nut width, 645mm (25.4") scale length, 55mm (2 1/8") Fingerspacing.

We consider the people of Santa Cruz as very good friends and we share a similar passion for guitars. Richard Hoover and his man developed and refined their craftsmanship over the last 40 years, and nowadays not only the frets but also the fretboards is plek'd on the plekmachine for perfect intonation and spot on feel and tone. Santa Cruz guitars are always compared to Collings guitars and for a good reason, both are made on the highest level of Lutherie, a Santa Cruz dreadnought is refined, and the overall balance compared to a Collings is only a little different. it's not that one is better than the other, it's a matter of tonal taste. But the strong midrange, impressive bass, and equally strong treble output make these guitars more than just another x braced & pre-war style scalloped guitar. And this particular example is in that legion probably just a tiny better than the rest, truly something special. With deluxe case.
