To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Santa Cruz Guitar Company, Richard Hoover decided to bring a favorite older model back into production for a limited run of twelve guitars in 2016. Having had such a wonderful time restoring a 1980s FTC for Eric Clapton last year it was an easy choice to put the carved back, F cutaway model into production once again.
This #3 of 12 F model cutaway features a Master Grade Italian Spruce top, Master Grade carved Old Growth Mahogany back and sides, Pearl Art Deco fretboard inlay with ‘1976-2016′ inlayed above the nut, ’40th’ ivoroid heelcap, Gold Schaller tuners and 1 11/16″ nut width.
