Description

Beautiful Santa Cruz 1934 OM-42 Custom ‘Bryn Anthem’ build with pre-war ‘Bryn Anthem’ Indian Rosewood and Adirondack Red Spruce offering that pure and refined tone with those crystalline mids and highs that only pre-war guitars offer.

This Santa Cruz 1934 OM-42 Custom ‘Bryn Anthem’ is delightfully versatile and resonates even with the lightest touch. She produces magic notes! Deeply appreciated for fingerstyle and contemporary flat picking work. By adhering to the principles of physics and the tried and true practices of lutherie, SCGC guarantees the most sophisticated instrument of its kind. Richard and his skilled team assure maximum sustain and complexity of overtones while maintaining consistency of balance and tone.

She is build with a set of wood that originated from a virgin wood that was cut in the 1800s. The English trader shipped the wood to the US to be used for building the Bryn Anthem Cathedral near Philadelphia, PA. Slow, steady, uniform growing wood is denser and more resonant than today’s fast-growing Indian Rosewood on plantations. The wood Richard was offered were left over planks of the construction and stored for more than 100 years in the church storage. While today’s Indian Rosewood offers a little slower response, warmth and more blended tone, this Rosewood is brighter, clearer more articulate. IN fact, this Rosewood will be hard to separate from today’s Brazilian Rosewood. With your eyes closed, this is impossible to separate from Brazilian Rosewood, since it is also just as light and dense as Brazilian. Combined with old growth Adirondack, this is the quintessential pre-war OM-42. Listen to Richard’s story on this wood here.

The Mahogany neck has a slight V shape and plays like butter. Construction is predictably first-class, with quality materials everywhere. Top-notch tonal qualities put this babe where she belongs: the absolute top of the line! To top that off, we added the classic Abalone Torch to the headstock.
