The 1934OM model came about when fans of the venerable Santa Cruz 1934D began requesting the same build in a smaller, OM body. The highest quality, old-growth tone woods, combined with SCGC’s relaxed assembly, produce an unrivaled vintage tone from its first notes, and it only gets better with age. Master grade old growth tone woods, Hide glue construction, vintage tinted bindings and top… every detail of this guitar was specifically chosen to produce an old world, vintage sound in a pristine, new instrument.
Based off of the powerhouse 14 fret pre-war Rosewood guitars of the 1930’s, no one has reproduced the essence of the iconic originals, until now. The secret to the often superior tone of vintage instruments lies in aged woods (crystallized resins) and the relaxation of tensions built-in during manufacture. This is exactly what is accounted for in the 1934 OM Model. Brazilian Rosewood cut in the 1930’s, master grade/old growth Adirondack Spruce tops/bracing and real hot hide glue are among the secret weapons. Hot hide glue is a time tested, natural adhesive that sets glass-like and resonant for a quicker, cleaner response. This isn’t ‘like the old stuff.’ It is the old stuff. These rarified materials give us the foundation for a true and genuine vintage sound.
This is a rare version of the 1934 OM featuring a vintage style Abalone Pearl torch headstock inlay, extra wide 1 7/8″ nut and no pickguard. This large nut width with 2 5/16″ saddle spacing is perfect for the player looking for a larger neck and more string spacing.
