– New Old Stock- This guitar is in brand new condition and comes with Lifetime Warranty. A great price for a custom Santa Cruz Vintage Southerner.
The Vintage Southerner , or VS, is a vintage inspired short scale slope shoulder dreadnought with lots of punch. This custom model features a premium ‘Bearlclaw’ Sitka Spruce top with natural finish and Honduran Mahogany back and sides with tobacco brown stain.
Inspired by the iconic Gibson 1930’s Advanced Jumbo and J-45 and the early 60’s Epiphone Texan. These early powerhouse slope shoulder dreadnoughts lent their considerable retro cool to the origins of the Vintage Southerner. Each of these was a favorite of several of SCGC’s veteran luthiers and so inspired this regal compliment to the SCGC VJ Model. The must have feature of the SCGC VS is the shorter, 24-3/4 inch scale length. It is so yielding to the touch that fretting and reach are a pleasure. The scale puts the bridge in the optimal position to produce the comforting, growling presence of an old blues recording. Responds with considerably more refined quality than the oldies, while inspiring room to grow throughout your musical career.
