Description

Built with premium rare tonewoods and upgraded custom features, the 000 12-fret slothead from Santa Cruz has a wonderful voice and presence, a perfect compliment to any serious collection and fit for the fingerstyle player and strummer alike.The top is a set of stunning old growth Santa Cruz figured striped Sinker Redwood, reclaimed locally to the shop in Santa Cruz, CA, an area known for some of the largest and oldest existing Redwood trees. The figuring is exceptional, with dark contrasting streaks with flamed figuring across. A timeless set of wood, it made it’s own music and harmony in the coastal forest for possibly thousands of years, then fell through natural causes and submerged in the surf to age and now it makes music again.The back and sides of this beauty come from a great set of African Blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon), a true Rosewood from central Africa properly named for it’s deep, dark coloring. A heavier Rosewood, this rare wood is said to rival the tone of the famed endangered Brazilian Rosewood, considered the Holy Grail of tonewood.Fully bound in figured Hawaiian Koa with matching Koa rosette, backstrip, heelcap and custom wedge along with herringbone top trim, Ebony fretboard, bridge and slotted headstock overlay and finished with EVO Gold frets and Gold Waverly tuners with Koa buttons, this is a stunning handcrafted guitar, that will make a great addirtion to any collection. The scalloped braces are made with Adirondack Spruce, an extremely light yet stiff wood that drives the custom 000 along with Hot Hide Glue construction just like the old guitars.This hand built heirloom quality 000 is a prime example of the attention to detail and master craftsmanship Richard Hoover and the folks at Santa Cruz Guitar Company are known for.Includes hardshell case and Lifetime WarrantyFree shipping in the continental United States.000 12-fret customSanta Cruz Figured Sinker Redwood topAfrican Blackwood back and sidesFigured Koa body, fretboard and headstock bindingsKoa rosetteAdirondack Spruce bracingHot hide Glue constructionEbony fretboard & bridgeEbony headstock overlayKoa heelcap and custom wedgeMahogany neck with slotted headstockGold Waverly tuners with Koa buttonsHerringbone top purflingZig Zag backstripPearl logoBone nut and saddleEbony pins with Pearl dots1 3/4″ nut width25.375″ scale lengthHardshell caseLifetime WarrantyFree shipping in the US
