If there is such a thing as "Guitar Lust", then, I must say, I am "lusting" this magnificant  Santa Cruz OM.       :o

Check this out!  Oh, and yes, I know the price because I inquired, so I will continue to lust.  That is all I can afford!

One of the nicest sounding OMs I ever played was a Santa Cruz.  But my Larrivee was less than half the price and is 97% there tonally.  I'll keep it.

That last couple per cent can be awful expensive.

Poki- You need to grab the OO All Mahogany SCGC that I just got in!

I sat down in front of a whole wall of Santa Cruz and Larrivees. I bought a Larrivee. The Santa Cruz I found to be uncomfortable in my left hand.

Was it the shape of the neck? I thin the Santa Cruz that I played compared to the Larrivee, the neck felt different. Or at least that is what I am remembering.

Least wise, the string tension on the Larrivee seemed easier. Then again it was some time ago. Either way, I have a Larrivee and not a Santa Cruz.
