Short Description:

Custom Santa Cruz Orchestra Model (OM) featuring a Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, herringbone purfling, ivoroid binding, and nickel Waverly tuners.

What We Think:

Handcrafted in Santa Cruz, California, this Santa Cruz OM combines timeless pre-war dreadnought depth with the articulate balance and comfortable ergonomics of an Orchestral Model. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, its voice is voiced with custom scalloped bracing for exceptional responsiveness, overtone richness, and dynamic headroom. Weighing 4 lbs 3 oz, it features a matte-finished V-shaped neck with a volute, a solid square peghead, a 1-3/4" nut width, and a 25.375" scale length across an ebony fingerboard decorated with subtle 2mm dot inlays. Classically appointed with herringbone purfling and rosette, ivoroid body and peghead binding, a zipper back stripe, nickel Waverly tuners, and a tortoise pickguard, it comes strung with SCGC Low Tension strings and includes a hardshell case.

Manufacturer Description:

The Orchestra Model represents the perfect balance of comfort, projection, and tonal sophistication. Originally designed for players who needed an instrument that could project in ensemble settings, the OM has become a favorite among fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters.

With its balanced frequency response and comfortable 14-fret neck, the OM excels at everything from delicate fingerpicking to assertive flatpicking.
