Condition: Used, Very Good

There's a certain charm to a Santa Cruz guitar that is noticeable from the moment you pick one up. From the first chord it's easy to think you're listening to a much bigger guitar. The entire guitar is a humming music machine! This OM compresses nicely when given a hearty strum, but is also resonant enough that a mere breeze is enough to excite the top into motion.

Don't let the simple aesthetics fool you, this guitar manages to stand out from the crowd!

The Pre-War Orchestra Model honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. Acoustic Guitar Magazine has placed it as one of the most important instruments of the last 20 years. The OM/PW is presented with understated appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. It is perfect for the aficionado that loves the advantages of a professional boutique instrument without the cost of rare wood and ornamentation. The OM’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.
