This 2016 Santa Cruz OM/PW in Natural is built to authentic pre-war specifications, recreating the forward-shifted, scalloped bracing and voicing that defined the most revered acoustic guitars of the 1930s golden era. Santa Cruz is renowned among serious players and collectors for hand-building instruments that rival vintage originals in tone, and the OM/PW delivers that same balanced, woody warmth with the touch sensitivity and dynamic range fingerstyle and flatpicking players chase. Its Orchestra Model body strikes an ideal middle ground, big enough to project but nimble enough for intricate playing, making it a versatile choice whether you're recording, performing solo, or accompanying vocals. This is a genuinely world-class, boutique-built acoustic from one of the most respected names in modern lutherie, offering vintage tone without vintage fragility.
