The Santa Cruz Guitar Company has built its reputation on an uncompromising commitment to tonewood, voicing, and long-term musicality, crafting instruments that are as responsive as they are refined. Their OM model reflects that philosophy beautifully—balanced, articulate, and designed to reward nuance. It’s a shape rooted in tradition but voiced with a sensitivity that feels distinctly Santa Cruz: open, alive, and deeply expressive.

This example pairs tight-grained Sitka spruce with Indian rosewood, a classic combination elevated by careful selection and hand-voicing. Santa Cruz’s use of old-growth Sitka where available brings added stiffness, clarity, and dynamic headroom, while scalloped bracing allows the top to move freely and efficiently. The result is a guitar that feels immediate under the fingers, with quick response and impressive projection for its size.

Tonally, the Sitka delivers clarity and sparkle across the top end, while Indian rosewood contributes depth, overtone richness, and a piano-like low end. Together, they create a wide, balanced voice—clear and articulate for fingerstyle work, yet full and authoritative when driven with a flatpick. The OM body keeps the frequency response even and focused, making it equally suited for solo performance or ensemble playing.

Visually, the herringbone purfling, ivoroid binding, ebony appointments, and mother-of-pearl details offer a timeless aesthetic that complements the natural gloss finish. Waverly tuners and subtle, elegant inlays reinforce the guitar’s understated sophistication. It’s an instrument that doesn’t rely on flash—its beauty lies in proportion, craftsmanship, and a tone that continues to deepen with every year of play.
