2019 Santa Cruz Custom OM
THE GUITARCHIVE – This gorgeous Santa Cruz Custom OM is in mint or like-new condition and it is a completely original guitar (one of a kind) built by the Santa Cruz team in 2019. It was made custom based on a series of interviews we did with Richard Hoover (founder and bossman at Santa Cruz) for a documentary we produced about their custom build process. We spent two days with Richard and the Santa Cruz gang and witnessed them design this guitar, and it’s beautiful and sings like an angel. It has a 100-year-old Spruce top for a bright but rounded sound, Adirondack bracing to help with brightening, and Mahogany tone woods on the back and sides (which are feathered and gorgeous, by the way!) for a deep richness to make it be a full sound with some bottom when needed. The guitar sounds amazing. It plays amazing. And it looks amazing.
You can demo guitars like this at The Local Pickup guitar showroom in Rock Hill, SC.
