Condition: Used, Very Good (significant buckle rash, and signs of playwear)

The H Model is a fantastic player's guitar, and this one has clearly been played a lot. Once you play it yourself, you understand all that play wear came for good reason. The combo of German spruce with Indian rosewood produces warm, rich tone, furthered by the inherently robust character of the 12-fret design. The wide, shallow-V neck carve is just right to suit many play styles, and the short scale makes it perfect for expressive bends and punchy attack. The addition of a K&K Trinity internal mic system ensures highly accurate sound when plugging in.

SP Luthier Notes: Partial refret (9) and setup

Long an honored presence in the Santa Cruz collection, the 1930’s inspired H Model joined our catalog in 1977 during the formative years of the company. Most players are astonished when they play the Santa Cruz H for the first time. Its volume is startling for a small-bodied guitar. The body’s depth allows for a much larger presence than would be expected in an instrument of its size. The guitar’s balanced hand voicing gives the H a precise response at every fretboard position. This model is highly recommended for those who prefer the sweetness and ease of playing a small guitar but require more comfort and volume.
