Here is a guitar you don't see every day...

A Santa Cruz dreadnought with old growth Adirondack Top / Mahogany Back and Sides and an enlarged sound hole. This guitar is killer!

This 1934D is in 9.5 out of 10 condition, and has the desirable 1 3/4 nut (rare on these), 2 3/16 string spacing, full hide glue construction, and a slew of custom features including: tortoise body bindings and tailpiece, black bound fingerboard in place of ivoroid, unbound headstock with script logo in place of mini SCGC at the 16th fret, violin top purfle in place of herringbone, Southern Belle sunburst, and tortoise pickguard in place of the dalmation. All add up to a classy and conservative D-18 style look.

The neck is a medium thickness soft-v profile, and the guitar plays effortlessly all over the neck in typical Santa Cruz fashion. Recent fret dress, new compensated long bone saddle, fresh setup, and touch up of capo marks above the nut (work done by Ron Ruggiero of Yardley, PA). Action is 6/64 and 4/64, with 0.005" relief. Neck thickness measurements are as follows: 1st thru 5th fret: 0.885", 7th fret: 0.894", 9th fret: 0.93." K&K mini installed by a prior owner.
