Yes, I know its a bit confusing - Specs are identical, they were built just months apart. I bought the first, and absolutely loved it - wider nut, slim C neck, beautiful musical tone. Then, a couple years later, an identical one came up for sale, and all I could imagine was how great that guitar, but with a spruce top, might sound, so I bought it imagining it would be cheaper to get SCGC to retop one of them, rather than commissioning a new one. But Richard talked me out of it - for a number of really good reasons. So, I’ve enjoyed having two - one at home, and one at my shop. But, too many guitars, a wife who’s becoming a bit less happy about the number of guitar cases taking up room both at home and at my shop, and so I’ve put a few for sale - this was probably the easiest, ‘cause I know I’ll be left with one - and I honestly don’t care which -

And, as Richard had suggested, a few more years passed and I found another koa H, with a spruce top, so I jumped on it, and have been very happy -

But, it would still please my wife to sell one of these -

As they say, happy wife, happy life! One of these is more than most folks will ever enjoy!

Nice one Tadol... but I am overextended and have 0 gigs. Odd to be retired...
I never expected to do so unless incapacitated!

C'est la vie say the old folks...

Best on this BEAUTIFUL KOA BABE

Gorgeous ... sorry if you have already answered that question and I missed it , both guitars you have are with the 1 13/16" Nut ? Can you please remind us if th depth of the H , Thought they had it on the Sant Cruz site but I dont see it anymore ..one of my SCGC is the Norman Blake Rising Fawn , the one is as deep as most dreads but I dont think the the H is as deep . let us know when you get a chance please I am desperately restraining myself !

The specs on both guitars are identical - they are 3-½” deep at the neck, and 4-9/16” at the tail. I had one of those SCGC Rising Fawns some years ago - it was a much deeper body as I recall, a very special guitar.

I have a cartoon on my shop wall of a very old man in his wheelchair, with a saying - “ My only regrets in life are the temptations I so successfully resisted “ -

Just sayin’ -

Should I assume that the sale is the same on both ? 25.375 ? Thanks , Max
