This is an excellent condition Santa Cruz OOO with papers and case. Sounds truly wonderfull.

Unlike a standard modern 14-fret 000 or OM, the Santa Cruz OOO is a meticulous nod to the golden-era 12-fret designs of the late 1920s and early 1930s. It features an elongated body shape, an open slothead (or solid) peghead, and a wider fingerboard, making it one of the absolute finest fingerstyle and ragtime guitars on the planet.

"The Santa Cruz OOO is the ultimate fingerstyle player's dream. By joining the neck to the body at the 12th fret instead of the 14th, the bridge is physically relocated to the absolute center of the lower bout—the acoustic 'sweet spot' of the soundboard. This structural geometry allows the top to vibrate with unparalleled efficiency, yielding a massive, surprisingly robust bass response and an organic warmth that defies its mid-sized body footprint.

Originally designed as the ideal accompaniment for vocals in intimate settings, the OOO has found an enduring home among modern fingerstylists, blues pickers, and ragtime players. Built with Santa Cruz's hallmark advanced X-bracing, each top is individually hand-voiced and tap-tuned to achieve master-tier note separation, crystalline trebles, and immediate, light-touch responsiveness.

Visually elegant and ergonomically effortless, its short scale length reduces string tension for seamless string bending, while the wider nut profile provides ample workspace for complex fingerpicking arrangements. The Santa Cruz OOO is not just a instrument; it is a meticulously engineered, heirloom-quality vehicle for pure acoustic expression."
