Sound Pure's Take
This Santa Cruz 000 looks stately and elegant with its ivoroid binding and button tuners, herringbone purfling, gorgeous abalone torch inlay and bookmatched walnut back and sides, but the elegance does not end with aesthetic alone. The European spruce top and aforementioned walnut produces supple bass, balanced mids and a smooth, clear high end, making it a stunningly expressive fingerstyle instrument, all aided by the very soft V-profile neck, 12-fret design and 1.75" nut width.
From Santa Cruz Guitars
The OOO is the 12-fret predecessor of the OM. If access past the 12th fret is of no concern, the OOO adds some distinct advantages tonally and cosmetically. The extension of the body to the 12th fret adds additional airspace, which translates into increased sound volume and a more predominate bass in the EQ. The slotted peghead is a standard feature that adds classic styling. The peghead’s reduced mass accentuates the guitar’s open, airy ambiance, making it a fingerstyle favorite. You’ve seen the SCGC OOO on stage with Jeff Tweedy and Dave Matthews as a solid performing songwriter’s tool. It has also been heard on numerous recordings as a mainstay of pro session players. You will find an immediate purpose for the OOO and wonder why you didn’t have it in your arsenal all along.
