From the Santa Cruz Website: “With its player-driven design that has 13 frets clear of the body, plus special soundhole and bridge locations, Santa Cruz Guitar Company’s H 13 Fret joins the SCGC H lineup with a sweet tone that capitalizes upon the best attributes of a 12-fret’s resonance and a 14-fret’s access. As a result, it’s ideally suited to fingerpicking, coaxing the sonic character of each note while projecting an overall tonal depth. Despite its small appearance, the H 13 Fret employs a body depth approaching that of a much larger dreadnought-sized guitar, producing extra volume and bass support to bolster its rich tone. Its comfortable size and complex tonal characteristics make it especially appealing to traditional players, soloists, and recording artists who demand maximum warmth and tonal versatility.” We agree, this guitar is strong and has great character. It’s great fun to play as well and the Koa is stunning.
This is what Koa should look like, rich color and breathtaking figure that is symmetrical. This is a bright and punchy guitar with plenty of power and projection. It's like new and plays beautifully. I really love the top trim as well, it's very unique. The slothead and pyramid bridge look right at home on this small body charmer as well. 
This Santa Cruz is patterned after the late '20's Martins but with the deeper body depth of the Gibson Nick Lucas. The 13-fret design is perfect for fingerstyle players. This one is special with it's high quality Adirondack top and highly figured Koa back and sides. | Scale Length | 25.38 in |
