Santa Cruz OM Ziricote (2014)

We have long been fans of the Californian acoustic noble forge Santa Cruz, whose name has always stood for acoustic guitars of the absolute upper class. All the more we are pleased to be able to offer you a very special Santa Cruz OM from 2014. It enchants with a golden-beige Sitka spruce top and back and sides made of beautiful Ziricote wood. This tonally and visually fantastic version with Ziricote is unfortunately no longer manufactured today and is consequently hard to come by. Furthermore the guitar comes in a classic look with Herringbone bindings and feels like it has been played in for years thanks to the extremely thin finish. Best workmanship and the characteristic Santa Cruz look with the discreet, beautiful logo in the headstock. And what the Californians have delivered here sound-wise should knock the socks off even every connoisseur of this brand. Already when you strike the first chords you are spoiled with crisp basses, an extra portion of pearliness in the treble and a super balanced, direct and assertive overall sound. Here really no wishes remain open! Super response, extremely differentiated with a great, bearing tone, where both fingerpicking and strumming are optimally transmitted. The perfectly playable neck with a beautiful "V with Volute" shape does its part to make you just not want to put the guitar down. So it's not surprising that it has been played extensively over the last few years, which has made it wonderfully swung-in, but of course it shows one or two minimal signs of use. Also, the previous owner upgraded the original pickguard to a custom pickguard by Nigel Forster (original pickguard enclosed). Otherwise this dream acoustic is in top condition including the frets.
