Details
This is the most recent iteration of the Santa Cruz OM, a model they introduced back in the mid-1980s, This instrument was inspired by the first 14-fret flattop guitars that were built in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Santa Cruz was one of the first modern builders to resurrect the style. Their OM was an instant favorite with finger style players and others who knew you didn't need a D or a Jumbo to get plenty of volume, and the slimmer, tuck-under-your-arm body shape was a far more comfortable guitar to hold.
Now, of course, OM models are offered by most guitar makers, yet the Santa Cruz OM still holds its own with remarkable tonal balance and playability. This example is, in our opinion, Santa Cruz at their best, and exhibits a level of fit and finish to rival any acoustic guitar out there, regardless of price.
