Condition: Used, Very Good

 Wow--this one has captivated all of us.  As enchanting and inviting as it is unique and seldom seen.  We've never seen a custom color like that on the top--almost like a violin stain--and we've definitely -never- seen an H model in this cutaway/12 string format.  The comfort of playability and the truly perfect level of compression/focus in the voice are qualities you just do not see on 12 strings.  Truly ideal/fantasy-level stuff for either the stage or the studio.  

SP Luthier Notes: neck reset, fretwork, finish work

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. This was a challenging era to introduce a non-Dreadnought, non-12-fret guitar. Opting to be favored by natural selection, SCGC presented the now standard 14 frets to the body configuration to an audience that valued the additional 2-fret access on such a classic, vintage body.

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.
