The Santa Cruz 00 Custom - 1930s Honduran Mahogany is a testament to timeless craftsmanship and elegant simplicity, evoking the golden era of guitar making with its exquisite materials and meticulous attention to detail. Fashioned from 1930s-harvested Honduran mahogany for both its back, sides, and top, the guitar exudes warmth and vintage resonance, every strum rich with history and tonal depth. The grained ivoroid binding traces the body, fingerboard, and headstock, creating a soft, flowing edge that complements the herringbone top purfling and the delicate zigzag backstrip. The ivoroid rosette adds a refined touch of symmetry, framing the soundhole with understated charm.Adirondack spruce braces, scalloped and secured with traditional hot hide glue, ensure strength and responsiveness, allowing the guitar to sing with clarity and dynamic nuance. The slotted headstock, adorned with an ebony veneer, anchors the design in classic aesthetics, while the nickel Waverly tuners with grained ivoroid buttons offer precise tuning and vintage allure. The standard soft V neck profile, finished in clear matte, provides a comfortable grip, while the ebony fingerboard features mother-of-pearl SCGC inlays and understated 2mm dots, merging beauty with functionality.An ebony pyramid bridge anchors the strings with poise, paired with a tortoise shell pickguard that guards the top without detracting from its natural beauty. The clear gloss body finish highlights the fine grain of the mahogany, a testament to its historic origins, while the grained ivoroid heel cap adds a final touch of elegance. With a body length of 19.25", depths ranging from 3.25" to 4", and a scale length of 24 3/4", this guitar strikes a balance between portability and projection, its proportions ideal for fingerstyle playing and intimate performances.Weighing just 3 lbs 7 oz, the Santa Cruz 00 Custom is a featherweight masterpiece housed in a protective Ameritage hard case.
