Description

The Santa Cruz Fingerstyle guitar, adorned with an Ancient Cypress top and African Blackwood back and sides, is a masterpiece of luthiery, designed to merge elegance, tonal excellence, and craftsmanship into a singularly extraordinary instrument. This guitar stands as a testament to the Santa Cruz Guitar Company’s commitment to artistry and function, appealing to discerning musicians and collectors alike.

The Ancient Cypress top, with its distinctive grain and rich, warm tonal response, is a rare and resonant choice, offering clarity and nuance for fingerstyle playing. Paired with the luxurious African Blackwood back and sides, known for its deep bass, sparkling trebles, and a touch of natural reverb, this combination creates a harmonic symphony of depth and articulation.

Underpinning the tonal excellence are Adirondack Spruce braces meticulously scalloped and joined with hot hide glue, enhancing the guitar’s responsiveness and longevity. Every vibration is optimized for precision and power, making this instrument a true voice for the player’s artistry.

Wrapped in Tortoise Shell bindings, the body, fingerboard, and headstock are encased in an opulent frame that contrasts beautifully with the Ancient Cypress and African Blackwood. The FS Blue Purfle Combo top border and FS Blue Rosette add subtle yet striking accents, evoking the natural elegance of the ocean’s depths.

The Deco Fingerboard Inlay leads the eye along the African Blackwood fingerboard, culminating in the understated SCGC logo at the 12th fret, a mark of timeless craftsmanship. Matching touches like the African Blackwood headstock overlay, Tortoise Shell heelcap, tail wedge, and backstrip bring the visual design full circle.

Crafted for the modern player, the guitar features a 25.375" scale length, a 1 3/4" nut width, and a 2 1/4" bridge spacing, ensuring an ideal balance of comfort and versatility. Whether intricate fingerstyle runs or open chord voicings, this instrument offers a responsive and forgiving feel. The fully buffed finish graces the top, back, sides, and neck, exuding a polished and radiant appearance.

The Gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines with black buttons provide smooth, precise tuning stability, perfectly complementing the instrument’s aesthetic. White fingerboard side dots provide a discreet yet practical guide for seamless navigation along the fretboard.

The Santa Cruz Fingerstyle guitar with its Ancient Cypress top and African Blackwood back and sides is not merely an instrument—it’s an heirloom, a muse, and a masterpiece. It offers a tonal palette as rich and vibrant as its visual presentation, making it an ideal choice for those who seek not just to play but to inspire and create music with enduring beauty.
