Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

The F model is SCGC's do-it-all, swiss army knife shape and construction. With plenty of size to support volume and projection while the curvature of the design maintain focus and subtlety, this particular F Model in Blackwood and Redwood contains a multitude of rich, glassy complexity. For the flatpicker, you'll find exceptional definition across the whole tonal spectrum and fingerstyle will passages swirl with gorgeous overtones. Adorned with gorgeous woods and perfectly built, this is a truly unique Santa Cruz at a fantastic played-in price!

SP Luthier Notes: Setup, fret dress, and drop-fill work

From Santa Cruz Guitars

Some SCGC models are designed for specific genres like bluegrass, fingerstyle or rhythm. The F Model’s intent is versatility. Recording, performing and composing with picks or nails on the same instrument is a necessity for many of us. When your repertoire also demands full dynamics from subtle to bold, you needn’t settle nor compromise on your presentation if you have the proper tool. Our ability to control the EQ of the F is the secret to avoiding boominess, while maintaining impressive acoustic volume and giving an articulate voice to fingerstyle playing and open tunings. The F Model is a favorite of performing songwriters. Its classic shape and design make it a popular choice for 12 string, cutaway, custom finish and inlay options.
