Santa Cruz H13 Tier 2 Brazilian Rosewood - Clear

Santa Cruz H13 Tier 2 Brazilian Rosewood - Clear

Crafted with an uncompromising focus on vintage vibe and acoustic excellence, this Santa Cruz H13 is a true player’s dream! The H13 body shape incorporates a deep body design with a 13th-fret neck joint, placing the pyramid bridge right in the sweet spot of the lower bout for an astonishing depth of tone and projection. Coupled with custom-tier tonewoods, this instrument delivers a lush, harmonically rich response that effortlessly fills any room.

At the heart of its voice is a hand-voiced Adirondack Spruce top paired with Tier 2 Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides. The Adirondack spruce provides an exceptionally stiff, clear, and ringing top with massive headroom that never breaks up under heavy flatpicking, while remaining incredibly articulate for delicate fingerstyle work. The legendary Brazilian Rosewood back and sides infuse the instrument with dark, bell-like overtones, deep resonant basses, and crystalline trebles. To top it off, famous artists like Eric Clapton and Tony Rice have long trusted the legendary craftsmanship of Santa Cruz Guitar Company for their signature acoustic sounds.
