Richard Hoover and co at the Santa Cruz Guitar Company are here to bring about the prewar ideal in modern times with this their 1934D model. This beauty is designed to recreate the classic herringbone dread with Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce, hide glue construction throughout, and Ivoroid bindings to boot. Herringbone trim package throughout, Dalmatian pickguard, and an enlarged soundhole. Waverly tuners round it all out. The voice is very balanced, well rounded and mixes up great for strumming, with an even balance and response for just about everything else.
Here’s an additional demo with flatpick firestorm Will Saylor: https://youtu.be/qoROq3S9Ew4.

Richard Hoover's brought together a killer team to offer both modern and traditional guitars. This Dreadnought is modeled after the holy grail 1934 Martin, here with Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce. Just exquisite. 
Mixes up very well, great balance across the strings. Santa Cruz’s 1934D is modeled after the granddaddy dread, the prewar herringbone dreadnought born in 1934. Right down to hide glue construction, aged tonewoods, and of course Adirondack Spruce over Brazilian Rosewood. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
