Sold: Santa Cruz OM

danishbacon

Now sold

A guitar I want is for sale so this one is back on the block to try and raise the funds, so I'll keep it up whilst the one I want is available.

As amazing a guitar as this is, I've been playing other guitars more (larger bodies) and don't want it just sitting in its case, however wonderful it is to take it out whenever I fancy a strum. A new OM will set you back $7,000 + a few months wait via TNAG or around £6k+ landed here. I know guitar guitar have a few around at that price but they're mostly more customised variants and not the 'Standard' OM which is, by some reports, the best interpretation of an OM guitar to come out of America. Take from that what you will. Guitar is in Swansea, Wales. Happy to arrange insured courier with correct packaging. 

It's currently set up with Newtone Heritage 12s with action at 2.75mm on bass at 12th and 2mm on treble at 12th

me too as well. i have bought 2 expensive acoustics in the last 6 weeks and whilst i have been able to convince my wife that there is only one new acoustic in the household (dont be silly i have told her its the same one i am playing)  - another one would be very hard to hide.

prudd

Beautiful, and worth every penny I'm sure.

fastonebaz

That's the nicest looking acoustic I've ever seen.

have wanted one of theirs for years
Nearly went around their factory in 2016, but did not want to bore my drummer host/driver
He told me last week he'd have been happy to go round the tour. Doh!

Thanks all for the comments, bump for now as a few discussions have not yet materialised in a re-homing of this lovely OM.

I did, but it’s back up. I do need to sell some gear off and recapitalise at the moment.

The name betrays me, but I am actually in Swansea @Lardy ;

Lardy

Damn thats too far for me...

This is just the most amazing looking guitar ive seen for a long time. Played a SCGC Dread a few weeks ago and it was so good.

Have a bump for a lovely guitar. Good luck selling and living with the loss.

Tentative bump whilst a guitar I want is available

Lovely, that must be some guitar you’re after if you’re letting this one go. GLWTS
