I've played some that really impressed me (a particular OM Grand comes to mind.) Others were disappointing (a particular F model comes to mind.) Being that I'm a fingerstyler I'm most intrigued by the FS model, though I've yet to try one. I can't speak on their dreadnoughts - I'm not a fan of that body type.
Anyways, the fit and finish on SCGC instruments is excellent. As is the case with any maker, you need to play a bunch to find one that really stands out (and justifies the high price tag.) Tonally speaking, most are good but some are really excellent.
FWIW, I would look at Bourgeois before Santa Cruz but that's just me.
