Oh Man!!! I've listened to that video a dozen times and always thought whoever owned that guitar got the Grail! Not easy to let go. Good luck with finding great tone in a smaller guitar.

Santa Cruz RS for sale on this forum. I never liked dreadnoughts and I love this style. Maybe its the short scale or twelve fret but it always felt very comfortable

Great sounding guitar and that was some awesome flatpicking by Graham Curry.

+1. From experience I can say that the 1934 package from Santa Cruz is the best of the best; their other models are good, too, like the RS, but the 1934 is the premium.

I certainly agree with you, this is a really great guitar!

It is gorgeous, if it didn't have the blank fretboard without inlays i'd jump on it. I just can't get used to no inlays for some reason.

It does have dot inlays in binding on the top of the neck.

Interesting offers so far, it does have a Brazilian headstock so I would be concerned about shipping overseas with CITES, it is an outstanding guitar I just prefer a smaller body guitar.

[Lion Tamer]

This is an exceptional guitar. Old growth and harvested tone woods really add to the voice.

I would love to add this to my collection but I’m struggling with understanding the price. When I evaluate it against a Martin D1 Authentic, a 12 fret mahogany/Adirondack with HHG and pre war bracing, there’s a $4k difference in price- ugh!

[stevipots]

Old growth Mahogany adds $2835 list, $2551 retail
Old growth Adirondack adds $2060 list, $1854 retail
Maybe that demystifies the difference. Hope it helps. Good luck and take good care.

Do you also struggle to understand the price difference between a Porsche and a Toyota?

[Lion Tamer]

Been some good trade offers, would be interested in a pre war guitar co rosewood OM or 000, or other makers small body guitars. I appreciate everyone’s interest. Again this is an exceptional guitar I just need something smaller.

My loss you’re gain, whom ever ends up with this guitar will not be disappointed.
