Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good (some drop fills and color touch ups)

This used pre-war dread from Santa Cruz is a fantastic option if you want a vintage sound in a light build that truly hearkens back to the days of handbuilt guitars being the norm rather than the exception! This guitar needed some love and attention from our luthier when it arrived but is playing like it just left the shop now and is ready for the spotlight or the studio! This instrument was built in 2006 and has opened up nicely since then and has matured quite a bit for a relatively new guitar. If you want a powerful, warm, and woody sound in a guitar with a ridiculous dynamic range then check out this amazing DPWM while it lasts!

From Santa Cruz Guitars

This dramatic sounding model was designed to introduce the superior sound of Santa Cruz Guitars to players that had been afraid to touch them. SCGC’s reputation for relentless quality and attendant high prices kept many from even trying one out. The Pre-War Model was okay to approach, not inexpensive but not completely intimidating either. Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, perhaps for the first time, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. The D/PW’s powerful volume, overtones and rich presence is an epiphany to the uninitiated. There are no unnecessary design features on this model, simply the finest materials treated to SCGC’s state of the art lutherie. This instrument is the best value to be had in a professionally hand made guitar, period.
