Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
The 1929-OO is my favorite Santa Cruz model. Playing it feels like running into an old friend. It can be sweet and airy but also bark if you need it. It's tone is very focused and spicy, with sweet, sweet highs that really allow for great note articulation. It's light as can be and it's a humble beauty: no fancy appointments, just beautiful wood speaking for itself.
From Santa Cruz Guitars
The Robb Report showcases the simple elegance of this SCGC model as a way to ‘own the extraordinary’ instead of ‘settle for the ordinary.’ Welcomed internationally as both timely and timeless, the 1929-00 has received sparkling reviews from the most prestigious publications in France, Germany, UK and the US. This instrument’s design pays homage to the simple and elegant instruments made for players enduring the Great Depression of 1929. Vintage inspired appointments include scalloped bracing, a period correct script style logo done tastefully in Ivoroid and beautifully executed Ebony pyramid bridge, bridge pins, tuner buttons, head-plate and fretboard. The rosette is an exercise in austere elegance with a rich tortoise ring nestled in a vintage Ivoroid border.
