This used Santa Cruz 1934-D, from 2021, is an absolutely stunning example of a modern, vintage-inspired dreadnought. Featuring an Adirondack spruce top paired with a gorgeous set of Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides, this guitar has that lush rosewood sound, with a clear and articulate tone, absent any of the boom associated with rosewood guitars. A fantastic flatpicking guitar, with an even response across the fingerboard, while still sounding warm and inviting.
It's rare to see a Santa Cruz 1934-D with this sort of "herringbone" style appointments, namely the tortoiseshell pickguard and lack of ivoroid headstock/neck binding. This combination truly gives off the 1934 "Bone" vibes, which we love. There is pickguard wear, some of which faintly extends onto the top (see photo with exaggerated lighting to make pickguard wear visible). Some slight finish scuffs on the back. Headstock scratch above the 4th string tuner. Moderate fretwear. Includes the original Ameritage hardshell case.
