PRESS RELEASE

Santa Cruz Announces D Pre-War Guitar

January 25, 2001

Santa Cruz Guitar Company's new D/PW model represents the second and final step in consummating SCGC's decision to make its two most popular body shapes available at a price point that would open the door for a whole new group of players, as well as giving our professional clientele the chance to purchase SCGC guitars at working axe prices.

The D/PW incorporates pre-war (PW) advanced X bracing similar to famous pre-war herringbone guitars, and simple, elegant appointments in a professional-grade instrument. The result is a guitar in tune with the needs of working musicians and serious amateurs, at a price unmatched for an acoustic guitar of this caliber.

Advanced X bracing provides the new model with its distinctive open sound. The full overtone series and tone depth of guitars with advanced X bracing are particularly well suited for rhythm playing and vocal accompaniment. The new D/PW offers a sophisticated world class dreadnought with the advantages of advanced X bracing at a previously much higher price.

The D Pre-War features Indian rosewood body, Sitka spruce top, Ebony fingerboard and bridge, herringbone rosette, and high gloss finish. Simple appointments contribute to the elegance of the D/PW. Understated black binding, black/white/black top purfling, black fingerboard binding and backstrip, and unbound Indian rosewood headstock overlay are artisan touches that reflect the superb handcrafting found throughout.

With a suggested retail of $2,250.00, the D/PW is a remarkable value. It was created to be affordable and practical for touring musicians, singer-songwriters, or just anyone who wanted to own an instrument of the quality SCGC embodies, but previously couldn't afford.

The D/PW model is available now at local, authorized Santa Cruz Guitar Company dealers.
