Fort Ross 'Chapel' Redwood top Adirondack braces attached with hot hide glue

One of our absolute favorite guitar models, the 1929 00 from Santa Cruz has a warm, rich and dry tone that sings. The compact form factor and short scale made this easy to play. The one big feature on this guitar that makes it a little different from other 1929 00 models we have had in the past is the slotted headstock, which gives it an extra high-end tonal sparkle. In overall excellent condition, the action is great, healthy saddle height and light fret wear this guitar is ready to play! The only wear of note are two tiny dings on the back at the lower bout. This guitar comes with its original Santa Cruz case.

This H13 was completed in 2006 and was customized with a Cedar top, cowboy rope rosette/purfles/back strip, Redwood Burl overlay, tortoise neck and fingerboard binding, and pickguard unattached. Other standard features include Ivoroid body and neck binding and rosette, S28 purfling and backstripe and Ivoroid Nickel Waverly tuners. It is in excellent condition, sounds great and had good, low action. It comes with its original hard shell case.

There are few other acoustic guitar models as coveted as the Tony Rice Professional from Santa Cruz, designed for one of the absolute greats this instrument is built for the finest tone, clarity and articulation possible. Featuring a stunning set of finely quarter sawn Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce this guitar will knock your socks off with its depth of tone. Some of the features that make this uniquely a Tony Rice is the deluxe binding up the neck and around the headstock, the large sound-hole, cut-through saddle, no fretboard markers and a stunning no-logo Brazilian Rosewood overlay headstock veneer, all giving a nod to the legacy of Clarence White and his relationship to Tony Rice. Besides the gold tuning gears, which tie together the overall golden look of this guitar, one feature I absolutely love on this particular guitar is the pickguard. The faux Tortoise Dalmatian pickguard looks fantastic and not all companies have this kind of authentic looking Dalmation guard available (they often use a standard Tortoise guard on their "Tony Rice" models) This one is lightly used, with the lightest of fret-wear and only superficial finish wear you would expect on a gently handled, well taken care of instrument. This guitar has the beautifully thin nitro finish that allows the full resonance of this fine tone-wood to absolutely shine. This is the type of instrument that will pull the music out of you for hours at a time. The saddle was shaved slightly for optimal playability yet retains plenty of saddle height for excellent break angle and an ebony strap button was professionally installed at the proper position at the heel of the neck. This instrument comes with its original deluxe Ameritage hard shell case. If you are looking for one of the absolute best sounding dreadnoughts on the planet, look no further, grab it before its gone!
