Default **SOLD** 2012 Santa Cruz (SCGC) D/PW (Sitka/EIR, Adi Bracing, Hot Hide, 1 3/4 nut)

** SOLD ** 2012 Santa Cruz (SCGC) D/PW (Sitka/EIR, Ser #6557) -- Like New! ** SOLD **

For your consideration is one of the best guitars I have ever owned. In my possession for the last 6 years, it was the guitar I learned to flatpick on, and which saw countless other guitars come and go. But it is finally time for the next caretaker to enjoy this magnificent instrument. A beautiful sounding guitar with unrivaled playability, this one sports several desirable upgrades including a 1 3/4 nut, Adi bracing + Hot Hide Glue, and the gorgeous Southern Belle Sunburst. String spacing is the standard 2 3/16." Tight grained Sitka top and dark, tight, straight grained EIR complete the package.

Virtually mark free outside of assorted pickguard swirls and light fretwear under the B and high e strings, first 3 frets. And I never installed the end pin (included in the case) or had a strap button installed on the neck.

Conservatively a 9.7 out of 10 condition guitar.

Tons of saddle left, and perfectly set up at 6/64 low E, 4/64 high E, and ~ 0.006" relief. Neck profile is a medium thickness soft V with a fairly even taper measuring ~ 0.86" depth at 1st fret, and ~ 0.93" at the 9th. Official spec sheet and replacement cost estimate for this guitar from Santa Cruz will be included in the case also.

*SOLD*

Payment by check or bank wire if shipped, and cash or certified check if buying in person. Sorry, but I no longer accept Paypal.

Photos and sound sample below (Strings are Pearse 710NM, played with a BlueChip TD-45). Happy to discuss the guitar by phone to any and all interested parties. Thanks for looking!

Does this one have an enlarged sound hole?

Hi Stevien. Nope, it's 4" just like a Martin. The difference is an extra fret...the D/PW has 21 frets, a Martin dread has 20. So the fretboard is slightly extended, which is why it hangs over the soundhole just slightly. It's a style thing and it looks cool, IMO.

All PMs answered, thanks for the inquiries so far!

Midweek bump. There are several folks "thinking about it." Another reminder that my offering price is less than half of the current replacement value to buy or build this brand new.

If you were near Texas and I could give this a try, I would probably have bought it by now. GLWTS! Someone is going to get a fine guitar.
