Santa Cruz / H / 1991 / Spruce/Koa Natural / Guitar
For consideration, a future classic, that is certain.
A seldom seen chance to acquire a nicely open Santa Cruz at just over 31 years and sounding very very nice.
There is plenty of info around on the model H, however to summarise she has a small body that doesn't compromise on tone, and a nice wide string spacing with the wider nut, great for fingerstyles and generally lovely to play and own.
Condition is excellent for a 30 year old as pictured.
Setup completed here to our usual high standards, no issues and some small adjustment room for future on the saddle (as pictured) and truss rod.
With the cutaway and flamed Koa body, this guitar would probably be double our asking price if commissioned from Santa Cruz today - a quick check of their website will confirm what the upcharge is for this spec with Koa back and sides, make sure you are sitting down first though, with a sweet cup of tea at least!
We've highlighted any surface wear in the photo's, there is a handful of really small, and I do mean tiny, dings which are not through the lacquer and none of which are larger than a rice grain. There is also some light weather checking to the ebony fretboard, overall pretty good three decades in, happy to restore these features as part of the deal (we are expert finish repairers) or leave 100% original as preferred.
If I can afford it before you then its gone, so I will race you for it!
Good luck!
