New Jazz Box: OM/PW!
For the last few years every time I came across a Santa Cruz OM/PW in a store I always left thinking thinking how truly great these guitars are. Last week a student got one and brought it in for a lesson. Hearing one in my own house had me on the phone the next morning with my Visa card. This is absolutely my main guitar now. I really don’t ever remember being so excited about a new guitar.

Congrats! That is beautiful. (A while ago I looked at some Larrivees and wound up admiring a Santa Cruz OM/PWs and a slope-shouldered dread). So a student got one? I used to teach other instruments, but something struck me with guitar, and I wondered how many teachers have students with far more expensive instruments than they have.

Hey Eric,
Congratulations!!! I'll bet that guitar sounds like a million bucks, especially in your hands. I'll be it sounds great through your new AG-50DS3 too. Way to go!

Eric: Not to hijack your thread, but I just saw your tagline and realized who you are. I just want to say that a friend suggested I check out your site a couple of weeks ago, and I'm glad I did. Great playing. I had to check out "Black Orpheus" first, since that was a favorite to play on sax; I really like your rendition. I just felt compelled to mention that.

Eric,
Many happy inspirational hours with your new guitar. At least, until a new one strikes your fancy.

Eric, I love your straight ahead approach with acoustic guitar! Incidentally; what acoustic did you record "My Romance" & "Black Orpheus" with? Thanks........

“My Romance” was a Taylor 712, and “Black Orpheus” was a Kenny Hill Madrid model classical. |

Eric: That's a great story and about what I imagined. I once saw a group class where the guy teaching it had to have the least expensive guitar there, which made me think about that. I taught some sax and clarinet in my college days. I guess even the student models of those instruments are expensive enough already to make a lot of people cringe.

I convinced a friend of mine to buy an OM/PW after I played one in the local store. It was simply the best sounding guitar in there - very resonant and light. It's become his main guitar and this is a guy with a couple of pre-war Martins!
