This beautiful looking Santa Cruz D-42 has been nearly two years in the making; and like anything that's been worth waiting for, this guitar has a presence that just makes you think, "This is the one!"

Why We Love This

Intricately crafted, and gorgeously finished in an ambery tobacco sunburst, the temptation to just hang this guitar in an art niche and stare at certainly exists. But one strum will likely lead you down a rabbit hole where obsessions about perfect-looking inlay fade away, replaced by the sheer delight of making music. This is an inspiring-sounding instrument -- effortlessly responsive for a dreadnought, with an intensely musical series of overtones. If your collection is lacking a high-class dreadnought whose looks won't daunt its voice, this Santa Cruz D-42 deserves strong consideration. Priced with Ameritage hard case.
