Sound Pure's Take
The Santa Cruz OM/PW 50th Anniversary Guitar is a beautifully balanced acoustic that celebrates tradition with refined tone and elegance. Its solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a rich, articulate voice with shimmering highs, warm lows, and exceptional clarity across every note. The scalloped advanced X bracing enhances responsiveness, making it equally suited for delicate fingerstyle or confident strumming. A mahogany neck with a V profile offers a comfortable, familiar feel, while understated details like the violin purfle rosette add a touch of sophistication. Graceful, responsive, and deeply musical, this OM invites you to settle in and enjoy every moment of playing!
From Santa Cruz Guitars
Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. The Pre War design package is presented with understated and elegant appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. Under the hood, the Pre War design package honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. The OM/PW's versatility and ergonomics lend great appeal for traditional picking styles and impressive rhythm work. Expect the predominant bass and throaty presence of the surviving pre-war antiques. Includes a unique 50th heel cap and interior label.
