Sound Pure's Take

Behold this stunning Santa Cruz OM/PW! It’s a magnificent orchestra model with a magical blend of Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood that offers a powerful and balanced voice with incredible depth. The Advanced X bracing ensures a booming low end and bell-like trebles that ring true with every note. With its comfortable V-neck and classic appointments, this guitar is a joy to play and a feast for the eyes. It's more than just a musical instrument—it's an investment in a legacy of superb lutherie, a unique specimen tended to with careful labor to ensure it is supremely playable and an absolutely rock-solid companion for a lifetime of beautiful music!

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. It is perfect for the aficionado that loves the advantages of a professional boutique instrument featuring Indian Rosewood sides and back with Sitka Spruce top, unassuming solid square headstock and a V neck with volute. 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. There are no unnecessary design features on this model, simply the finest materials treated to SCGC’s state of the art lutherie.
