I’m a fan of smaller bodied guitars, and I love this Santa Cruz H Model. Specially released and priced for Santa Cruz’s 50th anniversary, here’s a great opportunity to land a new limited edition guitar that otherwise would cost thousands more to order new.

Santa Cruz sez: “The H Model is Santa Cruz’s small jumbo, offering a perfect balance of comfort, projection, and tonal richness. This versatile instrument excels at everything from intimate fingerstyle to aggressive flatpicking. With its comfortable body size and powerful voice, the H Model has become a favorite among players who want a guitar that can handle any musical situation with grace and authority.”

A few years ago, Santa Cruz changed its business model to all custom guitar builds, an innovative strategy that allowed the buyer to choose a model then customize woods, finishes, inlays, tuners, etc. to their heart’s content, at a single price. Including everything at one price meant, naturally, a higher price. For their 50th anniversary, Santa Cruz has “reissued” some of their favorite guitars in their original specifications, at a very attractive price and substantial savings.
