Sold2011 Santa Cruz Vintage Artist
Fashioned after Doc Watson’s prototype, this guitar sounds and plays just great with a loud rich Mahogany tone and nice low action. The guitar is in excellent condition but we are rating and pricing it as in “very good” condition as the Sitka spruce top had a center seam repair performed by Santa Cruz Guitars, but without full lacquer work, so it is still a little visible cosmetically if you're looking for it, but it is completely structurally sound. Otherwise, the guitar is as clean as whistle and has a great overall appearance. But it really the feel and tonal characteristic of this guitar that makes it outstanding. It is gig ready with a K&K Pure Mini pickup. It comes with its original hard shell case.

It has a 1 ¾” nut width, 20 frets with 14 clear of the body and a 25.4” scale length. The thin lacquer finish adds to the tone too. See the spec sheet for more details.

Sold2007 R. Taylor Style 1 Swiss Alpine Spruce Madagascar Rosewood
This is one beautiful sounding guitar with really big, wide, balanced tone.

The Tropical Mahogany neck features a slim carve and a 1 13/16" width nut for easy, roomy playing. It features an asymmetrical X bracing pattern and 65' geometry. This guitar works equally well for any kind of pick playing and responds great for fingerstyle. It has great harmonics and a rich full bass. It kills in alternate tunings as well. If you don’t recall the brand, R. Taylor was Bob Taylor’s personal small shop label and the few of these guitars that were built are entirely hand made by his most experienced luthiers using the most select materials available. There are some light signs of use in the headstock and neck, but the body is shining and looks great after a professional and nearly invisible repair on the lower bout. This guitar sounds really rich and full and plays like a dream. It is gig-ready with a Taylor Stealth ES pick-up system installed and it’s original hard shell case.

Sold2016 Santa Cruz OMG Italian Spruce Indian Rosewood
It is not often that we have an East Indian Rosewood OMG (Orchestra Model Grand) come through our doors and one in such excellent condition as this. If you have never tried an OMG before, it is like an OM but a little bigger so it has more growl, more punch more boom. One might think after playing it that the OMG stands for "Oh My ..." It is that good. Premium East Indian Rosewood back and sides gives this instrument excellent balance between bass, mids and treble. Having an Italian spruce top, this instrument has extra sparkle in the high-end and a crisp clarity that makes this guitar shimmer. All of this is accentuated by the slightly larger size of this guitar giving it presence and authority with every strum and melody. Little to no fret-wear. Light wear on the pick-guard. No dings nor dents on the guitar itself. We will miss this one when it is gone!
