Santa Cruz OM Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood Used (2017)

A near mint condition 2017 standard spec OM with Indian Rosewood back and sides and Sitka Spruce top that was ordered new by us originally in 2017. A clear, balanced and loud guitar with the comfortable 1 3/4″ nut width.

In the 1920’s, the Orchestra Model or OM was originally intended to be a large guitar capable of being heard over other orchestral instruments, hence the OM name. Although it fit the bill, its relatively large body was soon eclipsed by the mighty dreadnought. Fortunately, the OM had secured its place in history as a powerful and versatile voice for public performance. Santa Cruz was among the first modern builders to reintroduce this now smaller bodied favorite at the beginning of the Eighties. Their practice of combining the most desirable attributes of old and new, rather than copying, made for a very successful introduction of the Santa Cruz Guitar Company to a whole new audience. With some irony, this acclaim encouraged the venerable originator of the OM to reintroduce the model to their line. Eric Clapton’s historic performance on the debut of MTV Unplugged set us on a course for another 25 years of success with this now perennial favorite.

Includes original deluxe Ameritage hardshell case.
