The RS is Santa Cruz’s version of the wonderful Gibson Roy Smeck 12 Fret Slope D with wide a fingerboard making it ideal for the player who wants to both flatpick and fingerpick. The bracing is extra stiff spruce that is double tapered so the guitar is extremely ‘alive’. This wants to jump off your lap. We love the vintage sunburst European top, it’s beautiful and powerful. This is a wonderful Mahogany dread that’s versatile and has modern stability and quality. It’s in excellent condition and includes an Ameritage humidity controlled case.

The Gibson Jumbos and Roy Smeck models have long been a favorite of many players, Santa Cruz now makes them available to modern players. The bracing is heavily tapered making this guitar extremely responsive and sensitive enough for fingerstyle work, and that is easily accomplished with the 1 13/16" nut and 2 5/16" spacing. But strummed it has that great old J-45 voice created by Mahogany and Spruce. The 12 Fret neck makes for an easy reach in addition to creating the sweetest voice possible by putting the bridge in the widest part of the lower bout. We don't have to tell you it's pretty, you can see that in the photos, but it's even nicer in person. I love the open book headstock shape as well. A sweetheart for sure.
This is a very interesting guitar. The 12-fret neck combined with the deeper body gives it lots of extra air volume and results in a big sound as well as great feel.
