Santa Cruz Guitar Company custom "H" 14 fret Brazilian/German (2007) Exc. cond. Owned and played by Chris Hillman (letter from Chris provided). It has decades old German spruce with light shimmer and bear claw and very colorful, high contrast, old growth Brazilian rosewood back and sides with a very striking bookmatched pattern. Bound peghead with Brazilian overlay and mother of pearl SCGC logo, custom open back SCGC tuners that are gold plated with ivoroid buttons, bound ebony fretboard with small pearl dots, ebony bridge, and small tortoise shell style pickguard. Double ring rosette and herringbone trim on top. Very rich tone and full volume in a smaller guitar (14 5/8" lower bout). OHSC

Incredible sound, absolutely one of a kind. Exquisite, a once in a lifetime chance to own the best of the best.

$6,500 shipping included in the CONUS. Trades considered.

I've heard SC makes some great guitars. That one is a beauty! Way out of my price range though.
