Product information

This 2003 Santa Cruz D/PW has just arrived on trade! Thousands of gig hours have been logged on this one (and it shows). The sound is wide open, dry, and mature -- an excellent multi-use dreadnought for anyone interested in stepping up to a boutique-level dreadnought.

The guitar remains in good structural condition, but shows extensive playwear on its soundboard (please see our photos). The neck angle remains excellent--the action sits at 3/32" (bass side) and 2/32" (treble side), with adequate saddle height for future adjustments. Our shop has set the guitar up, cleaned it, and restrung it. In summary: this guitar represents a great deal for an emerging guitarist interested in a small-shop instrument, but it's not the best choice for anyone who is concerned with cosmetic perfection.

Priced with an upgraded, tooled-leather Ameritage case.
