Description

Our latest offering from Santa Cruz Guitars is this highly customized OM made from Quilted Sapele and Adirondack Spruce. Superficially, this is an OM-18 inspired guitar with a bit of modern flare; but the superficial analysis will likely end after strum number one. The first thing you'll notice is just how light and responsive this guitar is (OK, maybe there is more than a superficial similarity to a great OM-18). The sound is very rich, with the golden, singing trebles of a well-broken in mahogany guitar. It's articulate without being harsh, woody without being unclear, and punchy without lacking sparkle. Plain and simple -- this is a lovely sounding instrument that will appeal to any guitarist looking for a great-playing and supremely versatile instrument (and who'll take the bonus points for gorgeous wood and sunburst finish). Priced with Ameritage hard case.
