Santa Cruz Guitar Company OM - Natural
Located in our Wichita,KS Store
The Santa Cruz OM, or "Orchestra Model," is a versatile and beloved acoustic guitar known for its balanced sound and comfortable feel. This particular instrument features a back and sides made from Indian Rosewood and a Sitka Spruce top. The combination of these two classic tonewoods creates a rich, full-bodied sound with a pronounced low end from the rosewood and a clear, focused attack from the spruce. Indian Rosewood is known for its excellent projection and broad tonal spectrum, offering deep basses and sparkling trebles. The Sitka Spruce top is a fantastic choice for a wide range of playing styles, from light fingerpicking to aggressive strumming, as it can handle high-volume playing without losing clarity or "breaking up."
This guitar's voice is further enhanced by its scalloped Sitka bracing and mahogany neck, contributing to a resonant and responsive feel. The result is an instrument that is both powerful and articulate, with a beautiful balance of warmth and clarity. The OM body style has been a favorite of countless musicians for decades, prized for its ability to produce a strong, focused sound that cuts through a mix, making it ideal for both stage and studio. With its timeless aesthetic and exceptional tonal properties, this Santa Cruz OM 6353 is a true masterpiece built for discerning players who demand the very best.
