Sound Pure's Take
Santa Cruz delivers all of their vintage-inspired instruments with sensitivity and complexity--this 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.

From Santa Cruz Guitars
This dramatic sounding model was designed to introduce the superior sound of Santa Cruz Guitars to players that had been afraid to touch them. SCGC’s reputation for relentless quality and attendant high prices kept many from even trying one out. The Pre-War Model was okay to approach, not inexpensive but not completely intimidating either. Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, perhaps for the first time, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. The D/PW’s powerful volume, overtones and rich presence is an epiphany to the uninitiated. There are no unnecessary design features on this model, simply the finest materials treated to SCGC’s state of the art lutherie. This instrument is the best value to be had in a professionally hand made guitar, period.
