Santa Cruz D Pre-War Custom Adirondack / Indian Rosewood Acoustic Guitar

This dramatic sounding model was designed to introduce the superior sound of Santa Cruz Guitars to players that had been afraid to touch them. SCGC’s reputation for relentless quality and attendant high prices kept many from even trying one out. The Pre-War Model was okay to approach, not inexpensive but not completely intimidating either. Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, perhaps for the first time, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. The D/PW’s powerful volume, overtones and rich presence is an epiphany to the uninitiated. There are no unnecessary design features on this model, simply the finest materials treated to SCGC’s state of the art lutherie.

This absolutely stunning heirloom instrument pairs a flawless, vintage tinted Adirondack spruce top with rich, high-grade East Indian Rosewood, along with Adirondack bracing, traditional hide glue construction, Waverly tuners and supremely tasteful appointments including a vintage-style Ivoroid rosette and beautiful herringbone purfling.

This one-of-a-kind guitar is one of the best sounding dreadnoughts we've ever had through the shop - loud, resonant, refined and featherlight. Includes an Ameritage hardshell case.
