Santa Cruz Guitar Company OM

Santa Cruz Guitar Company OM

Located in our Overland Park,KS Store

Crafted with a stunning Italian Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, this Santa Cruz OM is a true classic. The combination of these tonewoods produces a sound that is both powerful and articulate. Italian Spruce is renowned for its stiffness and responsiveness, delivering a tone that is clear, ringing, and complex, with the ability to handle high volumes without breaking up. This is perfectly complemented by the Indian Rosewood, which provides a rich, warm, and full tone with excellent note separation and a strong low end. The result is a guitar with a broad and dynamic tonal palette, making it a versatile instrument for any playing style.

This OM model, a favorite of legendary fingerstyle player Eric Clapton and countless others, is a testament to the Santa Cruz Guitar Company's commitment to quality. The instrument's scalloped Adirondack bracing with hot hide glue enhances the responsiveness and projection of the Italian Spruce top, allowing every note to sing with incredible clarity and sustain. The mahogany neck with its classic V profile and volute provides a comfortable and familiar feel for players who appreciate vintage-style craftsmanship. With its elegant ivoroid binding, herringbone rosette and top border, and mother-of-pearl inlays, this Santa Cruz OM not only sounds incredible but also possesses a timeless aesthetic that will inspire you for years to come.
