AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
OM-BUBINGA-SITKA
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
Prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary Santa Cruz OM Custom 'Old Growth Sitka Spruce / Bubinga' Acoustic Guitar, available exclusively at Acoustic Centre. This awe-inspiring instrument embodies the rich history and versatility of the Orchestra Model (OM), delivering clean, loud mid-range and trebles with a slightly predominant bass that will astound players of all genres.
Originally designed in the 1920s to cut through the sound of orchestral instruments, the OM quickly established itself as a powerful and versatile voice for public performances. In the early 1980s, Santa Cruz Guitar Company reintroduced the OM in a smaller-bodied form, incorporating the finest attributes of vintage and contemporary design. This practice of combining the best of both worlds instead of simply copying has made Santa Cruz a favorite among musicians worldwide.
The Santa Cruz OM is revered by players ranging from blazing flat picker James Nash to the soulful melodies of John Mayer and the expressive performances of Elvis Costello. Its delightful versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to contemporary flat picking. With its clean, balanced tonal character and exceptional projection, the OM has become Santa Cruz's flagship model.
This custom-ordered OM is a breathtaking masterpiece in every sense. Its stunning Old Growth Sitka Spruce top, paired with Adirondack Spruce bracing, produces a rich, deep tone with breathtaking harmonic complexity. The back and sides of this instrument showcase the newest addition to Santa Cruz's collection of world-class tonewoods—a highly figured African timber known as Bubinga. With its captivating range of colors, from pink to orange to bronze, and a voice that falls somewhere between Indian Rosewood and Honduran Mahogany, Bubinga offers outstanding sustain and harmonic complexity reminiscent of Cocobolo or Ebony, but with a sweeter, warmer tone.
Additional premium appointments include Bubinga body binding with black neck and peghead binding, a Bubinga headstock overlay featuring a Mother of Pearl SCGC logo inlay, and Chrome Gotoh 510 tuners. This instrument comes with an Ameritage hardshell case to ensure its protection and safekeeping.
Prepare to embark on a musical journey like no other with the Santa Cruz OM Custom 'Old Growth Sitka Spruce / Bubinga' Acoustic Guitar, available exclusively at Acoustic Centre. Its exceptional craftsmanship, superb tonal qualities, and exquisite aesthetics make it a true testament to Santa Cruz Guitar Company's dedication to creating instruments of unrivaled quality. Visit our online store or physical shop in Melbourne to explore the world of Santa Cruz and discover the OM's transformative capabilities for yourself.
