The Santa Cruz H/13 Custom is a breathtaking blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and sonic brilliance, meticulously designed to captivate both the eye and the ear. At the heart of this unique creation is a Dark Forest Ancient Cypress top, whose ethereal tones and visual depth are complemented by the rare Bryn Athyn Indian Rosewood back and sides, renowned for their lush, harmonically rich resonance. Together, these premium tonewoods create an extraordinary voice—sweetly articulate with warmth and clarity, perfect for nuanced fingerstyle work and dynamic flatpicking.Every detail of the H/13 Custom speaks to refined elegance. The curly Koa binding graces the body, neck, and headstock, offering a golden shimmer that frames the guitar with sophistication. Abalone accents—from the top purfling and backstrip to the rosette and side dots—add a delicate brilliance that dazzles without overwhelming. The slotted headstock, topped with an ebony peghead overlay is a masterful nod to vintage aesthetics, while the diamonds and squares fingerboard inlay adds timeless charm.Designed with thoughtful ergonomics, the 13-fret configuration maximizes tonal richness by shifting the bridge to the sweet spot of the lower bout. The V neck profile, paired with a 1 3/4" nut width and 2 3/16" bridge spacing, ensures comfort and playability for intricate techniques. The fully buffed finish on the top and headstock highlights the natural beauty of the woods, while the matte neck finish offers a smooth, tactile feel for effortless movement.The voice of the H/13 is as distinctive as its appearance: a balance of warmth, clarity, and projection that fills the room with an enveloping presence. Lightweight at just 3 lb 12 oz, it resonates with ease, making it as delightful to hold as it is to hear. Delivered in a premium Ameritage hard case, this one-of-a-kind Santa Cruz is not just a guitar but a lifetime companion, ready to inspire new levels of artistry with every note.Other specifications include:Dark Forest Ancient Cypress TopBryn Athyn Indian Rosewood Back & SidesAdirondack Spruce Braces Scalloped & TaperedCurly Koa Body, Neck & Headstock BindingAbalone Top PurflingAbalone BackstripAbalone RosetteDiamonds & Squares Fingerboard InlayAbalone Side DotsEbony Peghead OverlaySlotted HeadstockEbony Fingerboard & Pyramid BridgeAbalone SCGC Fingerboard LogoV Neck ProfileBody Length 19.25″Body Depth 3.875-4.875″Number of Frets 21Frets Clear of the Body 13Lower Bout 14.5″Waist 8.75″Upper Bout 10.375″1 3/4" Nut Width2 3/16" Bridge Spacing25.375" Scale LengthFully Buffed Finish on Top & PegheadMatte Finish on NeckFirestripe Pickguard - Unattached in CaseWaverly Nickel Tuners w/ Ivoroid ButtonsEbony w/Abalone Dot Bridge and End PinsAmeritage Hard Case3 lb 12 oz#1909For more information about the Santa Cruz H/13 Custom, please contact us.
