Santa Cruz OO Cedar - Clear/Matte
Located in our Wichita,KS Store
Step into a world of rich, balanced tone with the Santa Cruz OO 1276, a masterpiece crafted for discerning musicians. This exquisite 12-fret instrument, with its inviting 24.75" scale length, offers a supremely comfortable playing experience that truly shines for fingerstyle players and those with a lighter touch. The back and sides, crafted from the legendary Indian Rosewood, deliver a sweeping frequency range – think deep, resonant lows with a touch of throaty growl, and bright, sparkling treble notes that ring out with bell-like clarity. It's a versatile tonewood that expands on the classic mahogany sound, offering a wider sonic spectrum and impressive sustain, making it ideal for various playing styles.
The Cedar top, known for its responsiveness and warmth, ensures that even the most subtle nuances of your playing are amplified, creating a mellow and rich tonal palette. This combination results in an exceptionally balanced EQ with a wonderfully complex tone and remarkable projection, defying its compact size. The Mahogany neck provides stability and durability, contributing to a warm, resonant sound with rich midrange frequencies, enhancing the guitar's overall character and offering a comfortable, substantial grip. Complementing this is the elegant Ebony fretboard, a dense and highly resistant wood that contributes to the guitar's high-end clarity and sustain, offering a fast and responsive feel for effortless playability. Santa Cruz guitars are cherished by notable musicians such as Eric Clapton (who owned an FTC model), Tony Rice, Otis Taylor, and Bill Nershi, among others, reflecting the brand's esteemed reputation for crafting some of the world's finest steel-string guitars.
