Richard Hoover and his team of time-tested luthiers offer a stable of incredible instruments for every walk of an acoustic guitarist’s life. We’ve recently taken in a 2014 Style 1 with Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce that is a killer example of the Santa Cruz team at the top of their game. The Style 1 is based off Martin’s Size 1 guitar, which around the turn of the century (well, last century) was one of their largest guitar models. How times change! Today, the SCGC Style 1 is a compact, easy-playing, and rich-singing guitar that’s a great choice for fingerpicking blues, sweet old time accompaniment, or really whatever the musician’s heart desires. This beauty has Herringbone trim, 12 frets to the neck, and a slotted headstock with Gotoh tuners, and the whole package comes wrapped up in a snug Ameritage case.
