Sound Pure's Take
There is just nothing better than playing an acoustic guitar that's utterly dialed in. The All-Koa construction makes for a guitar that's super transparent and without any of the muddy overtones that can be associated with other hardwoods, but with a refined sense of articulance that really cuts through a mix. This guitar is full sounding and plays too good, even for a Santa Cruz! And the smaller body shape is both super comfortable AND, in this case, is louder than you'd think...don't miss this one!

The OO is an ergonomic delight. This instrument delivers ease of playability and surprising volume for its size. Certainly not just a smaller version of the OOO, the OO is a specialized tool onto itself. The 12-fret body and 24-3/4 inch string length tunes to pitch at lower string tension, making the action supple while requiring less of a stretch between frets. The size and voicing of the OO give it an exceptionally balanced EQ with a wonderful complex tone and remarkable projection. This serious instrument is surprisingly loud. The OO’s portability makes it an excellent companion for composing and recording, and its sophisticated voice encourages players to explore undiscovered fretboard possibilities. Holding this guitar just feels right.
