Sound Pure's Take
Hark, a light from the west! This luminous, actually-glowing OMG has more gravitational pull than some lesser moons--hearing it from across the room seems to be synonymous with being drawn closer! The whole shop has been abuzz since the moment this one landed. From a whisper to a whirlwind, it seems there is no dynamic, no emotion this one of a kind instrument is incapable of harnessing. Bright in a way that some of us have come to describe as "icey," the clarity of this OMG's voice is rivaled only by its absolutely unique tonal character. We thought the snowflake inlay would be appropriate--one. of. a. kind!
Note: There are two extremely small dings in the top of this guitar which occured in-store. Contact a member of our sales team for an in-hand description and details
From Santa Cruz Guitars
SCGC’s OM Grand is a bigger, lusher, louder sister to their extremely popular OM model. In comparison, the OM Grand embodies the same elegance, only in increased quantity of volume, projection and bass. More isn’t necessarily better, though in the context of a band’s competing acoustic instruments the ‘more’ of the OM Grand assures the guitar’s rightful dominance in the ensemble.
At the 2012 NAMM Show in Anaheim, SCGC’s longtime friend and dealer, Harry Tuft, asked Richard about building a special guitar to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of his shop, The Denver Folklore Center. In honor of this prestigious accomplishment, and the historical impact Harry’s shop has had on the folk movement in this country, Richard was thrilled to accept. Harry wanted a custom OM guitar with a larger body size for an increase in power in a body shape reminiscent of C.F. Martin’s historic 0000. Harry further customized his guitar to his playability needs and aesthetic values, including inlays commemorating his milestone 50th anniversary.
In preparing the templates for this new body size, Richard saw this enhanced sized OM as a fine addition to the stellar line-up of SCGC standard models, and the concept of the OM Grand was born.The strength of the OM Grand isn’t limited to sheer volume. In the sometimes restrained presence of solo fingerstyle playing, the inherent power of this guitar will generate a forceful bloom, requiring less effort with no loss of nuance.The best available tone woods are selected, voiced and tuned, as they are on all SCGC models. These include Indian Rosewood, responsibly harvested from the highest quality timbers, Sitka Spruce from British Colombia and premium Mahogany from sustainable resources.
