The 1934 OM-45 model is the pinnacle of OMs from Santa Cruz Guitars. The very best tonewoods, construction and aesthetics makes this as close to a top tier pre-war as can be in a new build. The highest quality, old-growth tone woods, combined with SCGC’s relaxed assembly, produce an unrivaled vintage tone from its first notes, and it only gets better with age. Master grade old growth back and sides, old growth Adirondack Spruce vintage tinted top, Hide Glue construction, 45-style Abalone Pearl on every edge including rosette and backstrip, 45-style Snowflake fretboard inlays, Brazilian Rosewood full bindings, fretboard and bridge… every detail of this guitar was specifically chosen to produce an old world, vintage sound in a pristine, new instrument.

Other features include Flamed Mahogany neck, Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay, heelcap and wedge, old growth Adirondack Spruce advanced scalloped braces, bone nut and traditional long saddle, Gold Waverly tuners, Dalmation pickguard, 1 3/4″ nut width and more.

Based off of the powerhouse 14 fret pre-war Rosewood guitars of the 1930’s, no one has reproduced the essence of the iconic originals, until now. The secret to the often superior tone of vintage instruments lies in aged woods (crystallized resins) and the relaxation of tensions built-in during manufacture. This is exactly what is accounted for in the 1934 OM Model. Brazilian Rosewood cut in the 1930’s, master grade/old growth Adirondack Spruce tops/bracing and real hot hide glue are among the secret weapons. Hot hide glue is a time tested, natural adhesive that sets glass-like and resonant for a quicker, cleaner response. This isn’t ‘like the old stuff.’ It is the old stuff. These rarified materials give us the foundation for a true and genuine vintage sound.

Includes original Ameritage hardshell case.
