1989 Santa Cruz Brazilian OM
For sale is a 1989 Brazilian Rosewood Santa Cruz OM- Serial number OM-92. Amazing binding and purfling around the edges and the sound hole. Dark, straight grained Brazilian Rosewood with some dark purple on the back. Excellent plus condition- no visible wears or dings. Had a neck reset several years ago.
Asking $5,000.00 shipped and pay-pal'd. Might be interested in trades as long as I clear $3,000.00- most likely, another OM. Thanks for looking. |

Any other specs? Top wood, spacing at nut/bridge?

As I recall, the top is Engelmann Spruce- I do not recall any spruce upgrade when I bought the instrument back in 1989. It's whatever standard spruce SCGC was using (I am the original owner).
I will measure the widths and post them. Thanks |

If you can please take the guitar outside and shot the back and sides in the sunlight it might help make it easier to see the grain...

If you shoot against a dark background, the grain will show better. Sunlight might not help unless the background is dark. Just my .02.

I did check into this - it has a 1-11/16” nut - if it had been 1-¾” or more, it’d already be at my house - beautiful guitar -

Did you also confirm any other specs like top wood or string spacing at the bridge? I thought about calling SCGC but if you’ve already done so any info would be helpful.

No - he just sent me a couple pics with a ruler - I think this is a basic, stock OM of that period - anyone who can play a 11/16 nut and has some cash could only make themselves a very happy person buying this - I’m almost tempted to have new neck made cause its almost cheap enough for that to be a reasonable option - but I have a couple braz SCs, so . . . .

Thanks for your help- obviously, I have owned the guitar for quite some time and I don't have a lot of experience in selling or buying high end acoustics.
If anyone else has any questions, I'll do my best. Thanks again |

Some updated pics attached trying to better show the back and sides. I can email these to anyone who is interested. A couple of points:
1. These are in direct sunlight. 2. Any smudges are the camera- the guitar has none. |
