New Scott Walker Guitars Santa Cruz Custom - Electric Guitar
One of a matched pair of Scott Walker Guitars identical but for the pickups. Purchase both 'Sisters' or just one.
We are expanding our custom electric guitar offerings and for 2011 are very proud to introduce Scott Walker Guitars to our clientele. Many of you will know Scott's amazing work, he simply makes some of the most beautiful and original instruments that embody both a retro vibe and a modern sophistication. For our first two Scott Walker Guitars we requested something that Scott's never done before, his Santa Cruz model with a satin finish on deeply carved quilted Maple tops that are as sexy as they come. Scott used a two step finish of black stain, then Amber to give it a serious three dimensional look. The body is Flamed Mahogany and the neck is Solid Brazilian Rosewood for amazing sustain and feel. The fingerboard is cut from the solid neck blank. The pickups on this one are custom Lollar Humbucker Size Single Coils for a huge, powerful sound. There's also a CAE Sound Jangle 2 Preamp built in with it's own mini toggle and gain knob. Details like handmade Brazilian pickup rings and custom made Tailpiece make this a work of art as much as a player's dream.

Player Reviews:
"I can sum this guitar up in one word, WOW! From the moment we opened the case I've been adoring this Walker guitar. The satin finish give's the look of an old violin, and the oil finish gives the Brazilian Rosewood neck a warm, inviting feel. The carved scrolls at the horns are elegant and add real character. The huge Single Coil pickups offer up tones from biting to fat and juicy. Clean or with gain this guitar sings. The Jangle 2 preamp adds even more possibiities. The Braziilan neck makes for serious sustain as well as feeling amazing. Right down the custom Ameritage case this is a guitar you'll be inspired by, so play, play, play!" - Paul Heumiller
"I've never seen one of these guitars before. I'm impressed with the artistic touches and carving work. They sound great too." - Al Petteway
"Scott Walker creates instruments that sound as amazing as they look! His workmanship is flawless and his sense of design goes well beyond what most other electric guitar builders are delivering. Scott Walker Guitars have great clarity and presence, and they are appropriate for any genre. The tone of this guitar is big and open, and has shimmering cleans -- but it also has great focus when you pile on the gain. Dream Guitars only handles the best, and Scott Walkers are amongst the best electric guitars we've laid our hands on!" - Steven Dembroski
