Description

This 1997 Santa Cruz Vintage Artist is a handcrafted dreadnought inspired by pre-war D-18s, featuring a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing for warm, articulate tone. Built with an ebony fingerboard, mahogany neck, and vintage-style Waverly tuners, it offers exceptional clarity and playability for both flatpickers and fingerstyle players. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes the original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
