The FS Model was designed in response to the renaissance of alternate
tunings for complex fingerstyle arrangements. Tacoma and Windham Hill
labels provided the showcase for these new and sophisticated steel
string explorers who were attempting to express themselves on booming
dreadnoughts. Will Ackerman, Robbie Basho, Daniel Hecht, Duck Baker
and Michael Hedges all looked to SCGC for the teams’ expertise in
achieving custom tone to make an instrument with the perfect voice
for this new style. With input from the pros, the tiny SCGC team at
the time, which included Jeff Traugott, Michael Hornick and Steve
Palazzo, stepped up to the challenge with this concept: design and
build a specialty fingerstyle instrument that responds with immediacy
and volume to the minimized energy imparted from fingertips and the
reduced tension of many open tunings. Give it a contemporary aesthetic
of simple elegance and complexity of tone that the player can not
outgrow. Twenty-five years and numerous awards and accolades later,
The Fretboard Journal credits the Santa Cruz FS as the inspiration
for the guitar designs of some of the brightest lights in contemporary
lutherie and a strong influence on major manufacturers. The FS is
a truly sophisticated instrument that will allow the best possible
presentation of your fingerstyle technique, vgc++, ohsc.......$4500
