PRE-ORDER - This incredible Santa Cruz is due to land in December 2026. There's one only available, so don't miss out on the return of one of the finest luthiers of all time to Acoustic Centre!

If the Santa Cruz OM is the guitar everyone asks for, the OM Grand is its bigger, lusher, more powerful sister, and the Founder Collection edition is a rare chance to own it in the pure, uncompromised specification that defined the model. Built in limited numbers to celebrate Santa Cruz’s 50th anniversary, with a fixed spec and the finest features included as standard, the Founder Collection OM Grand brings boutique American craftsmanship within reach.

A Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides combine in the most celebrated tonewood pairing in acoustic guitar making, delivering the same elegance and nuance as the OM with notably more volume, projection, and bass. The voice is deep, rich, and effortlessly expansive, with piano-like lows, warm, complex mids, and shimmering highs that bloom with clarity. Ivoroid binding, herringbone purfling and rosette, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, and nickel Waverly tuners dress it in classic style, while the V neck with volute and 1-3/4" nut give it a comfortable, familiar feel. Ideal for fingerstyle and flatpicking players who want more headroom without giving up refinement. Supplied in a Santa Cruz hardshell case.
