Sound Pure's Take
Santa Cruz delivers all of their vintage-inspired instruments with sensitivity and complexity--this used Vintage Southerner is no exception. What can't you do with the dryness of an old Gibson paired with the detail of a classical instrument? The short scale on this model gets you access to a gutsier, more aggressive response, too, all while giving right and left hands an easy time. Even our luthier had an easy time with this one--he didn't have to do a thing to it!
Condition: Used, Very Good - Great
Light buckle rash and scratching on side by neck, all playwear was too faint to be picked up in photos.
From Santa Cruz Guitars
In addition to the VA Model, the 1930’s Advanced Jumbo, J-45 and the iconic early 60’s Epiphone Texan also lent their considerable retro cool to the origins of our Vintage Southerner Model. Each one of these guitars was a favorite of several of SCGC’s veteran luthiers and so inspired this regal compliment to the SCGC VJ Model. The "must have" feature of the SCGC VS is the shorter, 24-3/4 inch scale length. It is so yielding to the touch that fretting and reach are a pleasure. The scale puts the bridge in the optimal position to produce the comforting, growling presence of an old blues recording. The VS will respond with considerably more refined quality than the oldies while inspiring room to grow throughout your musical career.
