About This Listing

2003 Santa Cruz Guitar Company D/PW pre-war dreadnought with a beautiful set of straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides. All specs are standard for an SCGC D/PW excluding the Brazilian Rosewood upgrades. It would be nearly impossible to find a set of straight grained BRW like this in modern guitar builds. Top is made of old growth Sitka spruce with some very nice silking (medullary rays).

Guitar is in very good to excellent condition. The guitar has a few dings in the finish, which I have tried to capture in photos. It also has a small ding on top of the headstock. General wear is appropriate for a guitar of this age. This guitar recently received a PLEK setup. As a result, the frets are in great condition and the guitar plays incredibly easily. Comes with original TKL hardshell case.

Top Wood: Sitka Spruce (old growth)
Back and Sides Wood: Brazilian Rosewood
Nut Width: 1-11/16 inches
Bridge Spacing: 2-3/16 inches
Scale Length: 25.375 inches
Neck Shape: Soft V with volute

Please reach out with any questions. Bid with confidence.

Product Overview
Known for its built-to-order custom options and consistent build quality, the Santa Cruz Guitar Company was formed by Richard Hoover and two partners in 1976. Standard features for the handful of models they offer are highly variable, as nearly half of all customers choose non-standard options on the guitars built for them. In this way, most Santa Cruz guitars can be considered "custom" models. 

The Model D Pre-War takes the standard Model D dreadnought specs but uses enhanced pre-war type X-bracing for enhanced bass response. The details listed below are for the standard model, with price premiums for different options included. This price guide entry represents a range for an instrument without custom options. 

Body Style: Dreadnaught
