Figured maple makes for a guitar with a lightning fast response.

This Santa Cruz 00 will spoil you. Exquisite, refined, effortless—not often the first words that spring to mind when describing small-bodied maple guitars, but there it is. Props to our friends in SoCal for how beautifully this 00 turned out. Uber lightweight, the figured maple makes for a guitar with a lightning fast response. In combination with the old-growth sitka top, this is a guitar with serious warmth, depth of tone, and sustain belying its size. Multicolored overtones and a fundamental punch to cut through the most densely cluttered mix. Intrigued? You should be. The current shop favorite small-bodied guitar!
