Sound Pure's Take

Why limit yourself? 

For those of us who consume and produce ALL kinds of music, it can be daunting to commit a world-class instrument

So many of them are so specialized. . .

This guitar is a jack-of-all-trades, master of EVERY SINGLE ONE 

It loves picks. The German top masterfully translates the slightest stroke into a full even vibration that rushes to gather overtones from the dark and lush Cocobolo back and sides. 

As a fingerstyle instrument, it's a monster

The bass may be balanced, but it can still stir your core 

The sustain is endless 

This guitar is strong, capable, and stunning 

It will get you noticed AND heard no matter what you're playing 

Even when you're just strumming a tune on the couch, you may float right on out the window ;)  

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.
