What Richard Hoover has done at Santa Cruz Guitars over the last 50 years has truly shown what is possible when you combine immense talent, passion, and uncompromising quality. He set the bar for the perfect acoustic guitar and along the way, surrounded himself with the best people to round out his team.
Relic Music is beyond proud to be an official Santa Cruz dealer and offer a wide range of options of models, Tone wood combinations, and appointments. This OM is one of their flagships. Equally at home for fingerstyle play as well as flatpicking/chord work, the OM is one of those rare reciprocal instruments that gives you everything back that you put into it...and then some. There is a reason why their tagline, "The One You'll Keep" makes so much sense.
