2019年10月24日 · Because the kind of Santa Cruz guitars that I look for are almost never on the used market and even rarely built new, I don’t really benefit from them being so low on the market and too wish that the used market would come up. I mean, if the guitar is in good shape the more it is played and the older it is the higher value it has.

2022年1月31日 · My Santa Cruz? No sir. It’s perfect. Tone and aesthetics are subjective but the actual quality of the build is unequivocally good. Perfect as I said and this was confirmed to me by the luthier that serviced it for me. Even the builder of my new OM mentioned how amazing Santa Cruz guitars are and noted how well they do their Rosettes.

2019年12月31日 · Reviving this thread as l happened to find a great deal on a 2000 SC 000 bone stock Sitka/EIR and decided to try out the FWI pins and on this combo they shine adding a bit of sparkle focus and depth. The Tusq pins though are still too much. Pretty weird and amazing to end up with two Santa Cruz guitars in just a couple weeks.

2024年6月12日 · Now that I have a nice Santa Cruz guitar, it got me thinking about these things. The relative humidity in the room reads 40% right now, so I’m not that worried about it, but as the Seasons change, it will be more critical. Daisy Tempest makes $30000 guitars, and she seems to think they’re OK. Comments? Thank you.

2022年1月13日 · As explained to me by Matt @ Eddies Guitars and By Carolyn Sills and By personal research on several tone wood suppliers websites and by Tad Laird, I have learned the following. The Spruce is cut at a certain time of the Moon phase when sap is not actively moving through the tree.

2021年1月23日 · Hey all! I first played a Santa Cruz guitar 4 years ago. It was a an Eric Skye 00 used but mint condition. I was absolutely blown away by it but as a singer songwriter, I felt it was overkill for my needs.

2019年12月26日 · Well said Matt, I have similar experiences. First of all, custom shops like SCGC are so very diff than big factory assembly lines like Martin, Taylor, etc recipe guitars. Two very similar slope shoulder body style guitars but.. very diff tone characteristics. My SCGC VJ is the best all-arounder ever for me, sometimes call it the best D18 ever ...

2018年7月10日 · Of the 3 Koa guitars I’ve had built ,by our dear Maestro n Crew. SCGC, all have been stunning! My favorite was an all Koa 000. Next was the OM Spruce n Koa. Finally the 00 Spruce n Koa. They all had the Magical open vintage tone that Santa Cruz is noted for.

2022年1月23日 · The invitational session included Steve Palazzo, Steve Swan, Jeff Traugott, Michael Hornick (Shanti Guitars), my then partner, Bruce Ross, and me. These were all SCGC members at the time. The challenge issued to the team was to create a new guitar design that embodied the ethos of the then contemporary, freeform and ethereal genre of open ...

2021年1月21日 · I didn’t even record a video, because none of the vintage gibsons and none of the santa cruz guitars that I played there were very good. I did find a nice strat but it was like 23,000 dollars. I have not been able to find or play any past that one store unfortunately, because I think I would like a VS or RS more than almost any other Santa ...
