This is a rare offering from Santa Cruz, a twelve-fret featuring a deep all mahogany body with pre-war dimensions and X-bracing. According to Richard Hoover there were only two of these made. Condition is excellent, with only minor signs of wear per the photos. Frets are in great shape. The sound is full and warm with plenty of volume and resonance. Very balanced throughout the entire range of the fretboard.
The neck has a soft "V" profile and is very comfortable. Pyramid style Ebony bridge. Ebony fingerboard with only side dot markers. Includes Santa Cruz hardshell case.
Video demonstration coming soon!
