Santa Cruz Guitar Company debuted The Catfish Special in 2018, built for their friend and world renowned blues musician, Catfish Keith. This smaller yet powerful guitar is a custom 1929 O model originally built for Richard Hoover’s pal Catfish. After building this original all Mahogany O custom, fans around the world kept asking for more information on this ‘little guitar with the giant voice.’ Following Catfish’s riveting performance at the SCGC 40th anniversary party and the reaction it received, it was obvious that a signature model version of this customized 1929 O would be a welcome addition. The Catfish Professional is the premium version of this model- built with highly Flamed Honduran Mahogany with a full body dark burst, full Ivoroid bindings, and features the same Mother of Pearl Catfish peghead inlay and custom bubble fingerboard inlays as found on Catfish Keith’s personal guitar.
Other features include Ebony fretboard and pyramid bridge, Honduran Mahogany gloss neck with haircut solid peghead, Ivoroid ring rosette, Waverly Nickel tuners with Ebony buttons, Ebony headstock overlay, Ivoroid heelcap, Ivoroid script logo, Bone nut and saddle, Sitka Spruce scalloped bracing, 24.75″ short scale length, 1 3/4″ nut width, 2 3/16″ saddle spacing and more. This guitar includes interior label hand signed by Catfish Keith.
