AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Santa Cruz D Pre-War is a masterfully built dreadnought that captures the essence of vintage tone and boutique craftsmanship. Designed with pre-WWII voicing in mind, this guitar features Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, producing a deep, powerful bass response, rich overtones, and unmatched dynamic range. The advanced X-bracing and scalloped top ensure exceptional resonance and projection, while the understated aesthetics keep the focus on tone and wood quality.
With a classic V-shaped neck and volute, a solid square headstock, and nickel Waverly tuners, the D Pre-War combines tradition with Santa Cruz Guitar Company's renowned attention to detail. The violin purfling and tortoiseshell pickguard add subtle elegance, while the matte-finished neck offers a smooth, fast feel. Ideal for discerning players and collectors alike, the D Pre-War delivers an inspiring experience rooted in the golden era of acoustic guitar making.
This 2012-built guitar is in wonderful condition with barely any playwear and only one small lacquer-level impression on the top - it's been very well looked-after! The tone is awe-inspiring - rich, sophisticated and balanced, with sparkling harmonics and endless headroom. It's the perfect recording dreadnought, and it's flawless playability and inspring tone make it a perfect songwriting companion. We rarely see these guitars on the used market, and it's easy to see why! Includes original hardshell case.
