Santa Cruz 1929-00 #382, from Santa Cruz

Richard Hoover of Santa Cruz Guitars discusses his beautiful Nineteen Twenty-Nine (1929), an all-mahogany instrument with incredible sound, and a gorgeous unique look, at the NAMM 2010 show in California. Hoover is considered one of the premier builders and designers of modern acoustic guitars, and this amazing instrument looks to the past (a depression-era tip of the hat for the players enduring the Great Depression) and proves how incredible Mahogany can sound when in the hands of a true master. The 1929 Guitar is available now from Sound Pure, along with a large selection of Santa Cruz Guitars that are in stock. Call Sound Pure toll free 888-528-9703 to inquire about our large section of Santa Cruz guitars, or the possibility of special ordering one for you!

The all-mahogany Santa Cruz 1929 is a gorgeous and refined instrument capable of providing some really magical tones. Mahogany kind of gets an unfair bad rap as a tonewood (and doesn't command/fetch the same kind of prices typically, either), and that's why ingenious luthier Richard Hoover decided that he would take the challenge of attempting a world-class master-guitar out of all-mahogany, and prove to the world how fine this beautiful looking species can perform as a tonewood at the top of its class. The look, feel, and sound of this instrument speaks for itself, it is truly fabulous. Call us here at Sound Pure anytime to discuss this fine guitar or the rest of the Santa Cruz product line.
