These pre war dread models from Santa Cruz are to die for!  Articulate, sweet, and incredibly detailed.  It feels like every facet of every note is illuminated--a flatpick in particular will get that gorgeous Sitka top going.  An angelic overtone content adorns every chord while still allowing the woody, fundamental voice to maintain center stage.  Fluid, effortless playability thanks to a fret dress and setup from our luthier.  We love the gorgeous, understated look, too--check out that back!

The new SCGC D/PW is a solid wood dreadnought-sized guitar designed to be able to provide the sophisticated tone and playability SCGC has become famous for at a price far below anything available from SCGC for many years. This guitar incorporates all of Santa Cruz's extensive experience in making acoustic guitars, and puts it to work in an elegant but simpler format. This amazing instrument will appeal to those unable to commit enough money to get into the standard line of fine Santa Cruz guitars as well as to the professional musician.

The PW refers to pre-war or advanced X bracing. This style bracing gives the guitar an incredible presence and bass response yet retains a good balance with strong midrange and bright powerful treble response. The advanced X bracing also makes the guitar very responsive for fingerstyle playing as well as powerful rhythm bass lines.
