Doc Watson, who owned the prototype of the Vintage Artist, said, “This is the Dreadnought I’ve been looking for all my life.”
This amazing beauty is a one of a kind Vintage Artist featuring a stunning set of Master Grade Figured Mahogany that is a quilt and a flame rolled in to one. A stellar sounding set of Mahogany paired with their premium Sitka Spruce top with vintage toner. A classic custom Abalone Torch inlay graces the Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay for that just right amount of unique customization and moves the SCGC Pearl logo to 12th fret of the fretboard. A clean, timeless and vintage inspired monster of a dreadnought.
Richard Hoover of Santa Cruz Guitar Company collaborated with vintage experts to identify the most desirable qualities of the iconic Pre-War D-18. Doc Watson’s contributions to the concept were born of an appreciation of the clarity of Mahogany’s tone and his requirements for playability. This instrument has the tonal equal and technical superior to the most respected Pre-War guitars. To achieve the characteristic EQ and tone of the legendary Doc Watson, aka ‘the Vintage Artist,’ this instrument features an advanced, scalloped X-bracing for powerful bass, complemented by the clear tone and definition of the Master Grade Figured Mahogany.
