The baritone can lend a piano-like presence to the guitar and is especially suited to alternative tunings and finger-style performance. The 27 inch scale length allows heavier strings at the lower tensions for incredible sustain and responsiveness. The 12th fret neck/body join also adds the harmonic overtones and resonance that 12-fret guitars are known for.
Think of this guitar as an inspiration machine. Acoustic baritones can take you to places you've never been before and open your ears to new sonic territories in which to express yourself. This is a true lifetime guitar. Comes with its custom Calton case. See below for more details and specifications.
FROM SANTA CRUZ GUITARS:
Hand voiced and tuned for a sophistication of sound that you won’t outgrow. We are not restricted by the constraints of manufacturing efficiencies from building something personal and unique. We are truly a custom shop, and pride ourselves on the ability to hand make any aspect of the guitar to meet the design and acoustic preferences of our customers and dealers. Santa Cruz Guitar Company combines the timeless heritage of violin lutherie with a working camaraderie and ongoing symbiosis with some of the world’s top experts in acoustic science.
Our durability comes from intelligent engineering, not extra weight. SCGC incorporates the engineering principles of parabolic and radiused bracings, giving each instrument additional power, resonance and durability. This gives them multiple times the strength at a fraction of the weight. Our first instruments are in their fourth decade of professional use, proving the soundness of SCGC’s ‘light but strong’ designs.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
