A celebration of 50 years building some of the finest acoustic guitars ever produced!
This is the latest anniversary model offered by our good friends at Santa Cruz. We just received it and can’t stop playing it… The perfect songwriter or finger-picker’s guitar, this little Pre War-style OM will appeal to a wide range of players. Delicate and simple appointments leave no distraction from the gorgeous tone and smooth playability. You don’t need to work hard to make this guitar sound amazing. Part of a very limited run of guitars celebrating SCGC’s milestone and priced well within reach, this guitar isn’t likely to stick around for long.
It’s tough to photograph gloss-finish guitars in the shop and avoid the glare from the overhead lights, so we’ve included some stock photos, as well. See full list of specs below.
From SCGC:
“Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. The Pre War design package is presented with understated and elegant appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. Under the hood, the Pre War design package honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. The OM/PW’s versatility and ergonomics lend great appeal for traditional picking styles and impressive rhythm work. Expect the predominant bass and throaty presence of the surviving pre-war antiques. Includes a unique 50th heel cap and interior label.”
