Sounds like a beauty Matt. Carolyn and the SCGC team are great to work with. What’s the expected delivery date?

Yes they are! Carolyn is always a treat to work with, as we've done MANY custom guitars for the shop over the years. I thought it was finally time to own a Santa Cruz myself, and I've always really loved the FS models, and the story behind them. I'm expecting to see it sometime this summer (hopefully early summer!).

Sounds good Matt!! I guess your statement that the bearded hog Bourgeois guitar is pretty much your only instrument has long been forgotten
Congratulations!!

SCGC FS
I bought a new FS about a year ago to tide me over while I waited for my custom OMG build. If it were my only guitar, I would consider myself lucky. I play mostly open tunings/Celtic, and it excels. Then a few JT covers, and you'd think it an Olsen. Great guitar. Great choice, Matt.

So the start date for this one was kicked back a bit because Santa Cruz was waiting for some custom purfling from a supplier for longer than expected. Nonetheless, it has started!
Red spruce braces being secured to an awfully nice looking Moon spruce top. More updates to come... |

A few pics showing the custom blue/maple headstock and fingerboard purflings - as well as the Brazilian rosewood headstock veneer, fingerboard and bindings.
I couldn't possible be any happier with how the blue/maple looks against the beautiful Brazilian!! |
