NEW ARRIVAL Santa Cruz are one of the best high end acoustic guitar builders, producing genuinely hand made guitars from California. The guitar features a Sitka Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides, with and Ebony fingerboard and bridge. This model was made for a short time for the European market only (hence the designation OM/E). It differs from the standard Santa Cruz OM in that the top braces are redesigned to taper and not notch into the linings such that the top vibrates more freely, giving the guitar incredible presence and bass response, yet retaining a good balance with strong midrange and bright powerful trebles. This means the guitar works very well for fingerstyle playing as well as powerful rhythm bass lines. It's seriously one of the best OM's you will ever play. It's in very good condition, with just a few surface dings, and some light playwear. The guitar comes in it's original deluxe hard case.
