Richard Hoover 40 years on the front line and counting
Richard Hoover founded the Santa Cruz Guitar Company in 1976, and was one of the pioneer guitar makers that brought boutique instruments to the forefront of the steel string guitar business. His approach to guitar making has always been a little different from the start. Richard has always been concerned with making the best possible guitars from premium materials while doing so in an environmentally responsible fashion.
Richard is one of the handful of established Luthiers that have always made themselves available to the new generation. In addition, Richard runs as deep in repairs and restorations as he does in the history of Lutherie. Now in his 40th year at the forefront of the business, Richard’s conversations could meander from tonewood to tap tones, or sunbursts to shipping & receiving.
It’s hard to say, but it’s always a great journey.
