"The highest quality, old-growth tonewoods, combined with SCGC’s relaxed assembly, produce an unrivaled vintage tone from its first notes, and it only gets better with age."
When it comes to crafting guitars that deliver up the tone and feel of a rare, hard-to-find vintage guitar, Santa Cruz Guitar Co. delivers some stunning options. Their 1934 D inspired so much love that they applied the same tonewoods and building principles to other models, including the OM. Master-grade Brazilian rosewood and Adirondack spruce, both harvested in the 1930s, held together by Adirondack bracing and hot hide glue, ensure a nuanced vintage tone is achieved. A tinted top and Dalmatian pickguard add old-world flair, while shimmering 45-style abalone purfling on the top, sides, and back along with gold tuners add even more heirloom-level beauty.
This 2022 OM-45 is in like-new condition, but already has the loose and responsive feel and tone of an older guitar. Comes with an Ameritage hardshell case.
