Now it heads into Finish. Getting close!

A beautiful build in every way. My Mahogany OMG continues to keep just about every other guitar I own in the case...just an ideal size, feel and sound. Your combination of woods should make for a real show stopper.

I also think it’s obvious why Santa Cruz guitars are so consistently great. Congratulations!

Yes, and in your ears as well! I look forward to the final pics and your review once you have a chance to sit down with it.

Best,
Jayne

I love the back of that guitar. It's simple but not even close to boring. Fantastic color and the "lines" are just perfect.

I think you're going to love it.

Default Being Cured

A couple of pictures of the box being cured. It can’t be handled at the moment, but here are some shots of it hanging. The neck is going into cure at the end of this week Looks like it will be shipped in 2 weeks!

Default Home at Last!

The guitar was delivered yesterday & I brought it home this morning. I’ve played it for a couple of hours and I’m thrilled with the outcome. Santa Cruz nailed it as far as I’m concerned. The build is impeccable and the tone is rich, deep, clear and resonate as I hoped it would be. The instrument is pretty light for a Cocobolo OMG @ 4 pounds, 6 ounces. I am working on getting my recording capabilities up and running and plan to post a few things on Show and Tell shortly. Much thanks goes to Carolyn at SCGC for her patience with another “quirky” client. She is kind and talented. Here are a few pictures in my yard on a cloudy day.
