Description
Santa Cruz OM Pre-War - Natural
If you have ever chased that legendary, pre-war acoustic tone with all its vintage warmth and growl, the Santa Cruz OM Pre-War is about to make your musical dreams come true. Built with a master-grade Sitka Spruce top and rich Indian Rosewood back and sides, this orchestra model delivers an astonishing sonic depth that punches well above its weight class. Sitka Spruce brings lightning-fast note velocity, incredible headroom, and a sparkling clarity that refuses to break up even when you dig in hard with a flatpick. Paired with Indian Rosewood, you get that coveted chocolatey richness, deep, resonant bass response, and shimmering overtones that ring out like a piano.
Under the hood, Santa Cruz honors vintage tradition with advanced X and scalloped top bracing, allowing the top to vibrate freely for massive volume and a throaty presence reminiscent of the most prized 1930s antiques. The comfortable mahogany neck features a classic V-shape with a volute and an ebony fingerboard that feels instantly like an old friend in your hands. Favored by discerning tone hounds and fingerstyle virtuosos alike—including fingerstyle artist Seb Goldswain who relies on its incredible voice—this guitar is stripped of unnecessary ornamentation so every single dollar goes straight into world-class lutherie and sonic excellence. Whether you are executing lightning-fast bluegrass flatpicking or delicate folk fingerstyle arrangements, the OM Pre-War responds dynamically to every nuance of your touch.
