Santa Cruz

“The baritone can lend a piano-like presence to slide and open tuning playing styles. The very long (27 inch) scale, 12-fret Mahogany neck allows the guitar to accommodate heavier strings at the lower tensions of open tunings. The highest quality Mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack Spruce top provide extreme tonal clarity. This unique guitar combines design elements and tone woods for unrivaled volume, tone and sustain. If your set list includes Blues, Hawaiian Slack-Key or open tuning fingerstyles, this guitar is the ticket.”– From the Santa Cruz Website

Whether you’re playing fingerstyle or laying down some chord voicings, the richness that this instrument exudes will give you dimensions not available in a conventional 6-string guitar.
