SCGC Santa Cruz H13 2010 - Dark Burst

Great Condition Santa Cruz H13 Dark Burst.

One picture shows it next to a Santa Cruz Style 1. That is not part of this listing. It does not come with the H13! I wanted to show a comparison in size to another guitar.

Amazing depth bass and volume for a smaller body shape.

minor fret wear B and E strings fist 4 frets - in pictures. Cant feel when fretting the sand could be dressed up and removed.

Cosmetic issues ( see pictures ):

Small ding on side by binding, not deep - see picture.

Sort of a bubble/blemish but not dent imperfection top lower bout. Hard to photograph. See picture.

Very small dings from changing strings around headstock slots. See picture.

Guitar is a very, very thin nitro finish throughout that is aged nicely since 2010. There are few very fine swirls in and around the pickguard from playing.

There are not a bunch of tiny dings anywhere. The top is very mirror like.

There is light checking on the top and on the neck that are too shallow to easily photograph, and you cannot feel them with your finger or fingernail. You can only see it under certain types of light at certain angles. I tried to capture them in pictures but you have to have the light at the perfect angle to see.

This is not a show piece, but it’s in good condition, without a bunch of dings and nicks and worming on the finish.

Back has no rash pitting or dings.

It’s been played, broken in and well taken care of.

There are a couple of very, very fine dings on the back of the neck (maybe from capo) that you can’t really feel easily and can’t really easily photograph that might even polish out. See picture.

There is wear in lacquer around the top next sound hole and rosette just in front of the pick guard. No gouges or wear into the wood. See picture with light and angle trying to show wear. I used a light at a certain angle so you can see the imperfection but it’s very minor and hard to see.

Inner most ring of sound hole was touched up with a nitro pen from fingernail and pick wear around most of the perimeter couple of times to prevent excessive wear. Wear is not into the wood just reduced glossiness of finish. Ask for more pictures if you need.

In general, the type of imperfections on the guitar you need to have your face 6 inches or less away to really notice.
