OMG yes please
| She is a stunner. Tuned her up to pitch and I don’t know how to say this. She has made every other guitar in my collection weep. I own some mighty fine instruments, two of your OMs, a Collings OM, a Bourgeois D Vintage Heirloom, a Huss and Dalton TD-R. This 1934 D feels and sounds like it’s in a class of its own. I am so grateful to your shop’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. I’ve played a few Brazilian backed guitars in the past (Martin, Taylor and Bourgeois) and can appreciate the tonal difference between Brazilian and East Indian rosewood. Brazilian just sounds so much sweeter, has a more balanced sound, and more controlled and pleasing overtones than East Indian. However none of the other Brazilian guitars inspired me to pay the extra money for them, and those guitars were half the price of the 1934 D. Santa Cruz isn’t just using Brazilian rosewood in the 1934D, they’re using the real deal old growth Brazilian. “The Good Stuff” as they say. This guitar took the positives I heard from the other BRW guitars, and turned up the dial to 11. This is truly a lifer. Heirloom quality both in aesthetics and in sound. What is amazing is that this was just finished by your shop earlier this year, so it’s “the worst it is ever going to sound” right now, and it’s already the best guitar I’ve ever played. It will only open up and sound more amazing in the years to come! |
