The OM Pre War 50th Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates five decades of Santa Cruz Guitar Company with one of its most celebrated designs. The Pre War package honors pre-WWII orchestra models with a scalloped Advanced X bracing pattern under a Sitka spruce top, and Indian rosewood back and sides supply the strong bass response and throaty presence associated with the surviving vintage originals. Understated appointments such as black binding, a violin purfle combo rosette and a solid headstock keep the focus on materials and workmanship, and each guitar carries a unique 50th Anniversary heel cap and interior label. Handcrafted in Santa Cruz, California, it is a versatile OM equally at home with traditional picking styles and full rhythm work.
