Details
The now-legendary herringbone dreadnought was first released in 1934, and stands as one of the most highly sought after acoustic guitars of all time, especially among bluegrass flatpickers. This is for good reason, as the combination of forward-shifted scalloped X bracing and Brazilian rosewood made for a powerful bass response and huge volume.
This Santa Cruz dreadnought, inspired by the venerable 1934 original, features Brazilian rosewood back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top with the classic herringbone purfling we all know and love. When flatpicked, this guitar rumbles and roars. The Adirondack top offers projection and brightness, while the Brazilian rosewood lends sweet overtones and complex tonality. As to be expected with these specs, this guitar is a bluegrass monster, packing in many of the features of a pre-war offering, with the stability of a brand new instrument.
