New! Santa Cruz D/PW Special: Richard Hoover of Santa Cruz is one of the most knowledgeable guitar makers in the world. He knows how to make guitars that take advantage of all the advances in guitar making over the last two centuries. He is also smart enough to know that modern improvements need to be tempered with the intrinsic qualities that are the inherent in doing things the 'old fashioned' way. The result of this cerebral pilgrimage is the PW, or pre-war series of Santa Cruz guitars. Surely the best of both worlds. This special model features an Adirondack Spruce top and is all hide glue construction. You only have to play one to realize that this is a marvelous combination of traditional design built with modern techniques. With hard case. LIST: $4450 BuffaloBros. price: $4005 Stock#NGB28259*

New! Santa Cruz D/PW: Excellent sounding dreadnought that has constantkly evolved from the basic replica of the pre-war Martin into a model that is known for its own distinct tonality.

New! Santa Cruz Vintage Artist: Mahogany back and sides, Sitka Spruce top. The Vintage Artist model features a powerful bass response combined with the bright tone provided by the guitar's mahogany body. This model's prized deep, rolling bass response is achieved by both advancing the scalloped X-brace towards the soundhole and by meticulous attention to top voicing. The separation and clarity of tone produced by the guitar are characteristic of the style of the legendary Doc Watson, who owns the prototype of the Vintage Artist. As Doc says, "This is the Dreadnought I've been looking for all my life." We believe that this guitar is the tonal equal and technical superior of the most respected pre-World War II dreadnoughts.
