Santa Cruz F-42 Cutaway Custom Flamed Maple and European Spruce with Full Body Sunburst

Some SCGC models are designed for specific genres like bluegrass, fingerstyle or rhythm playing. The Santa Cruz F model’s intent is versatility. Recording, performing and composing with picks or nails on the same instrument is a necessity for many of us. When your repertoire also demands full dynamics from subtle to bold, you needn’t settle nor compromise on your presentation if you have the proper tool. Santa Cruz’s ability to control the EQ of the F is the secret to avoiding boominess, while maintaining impressive acoustic volume and giving an articulate voice to fingerstyle playing and open tunings. The classic F Model Shape and design is a favorite of performing songwriters.This full custom F with cutaway is a take on Santa Cruz’s FTC design but with the standard F body, sans the arched back. The highly figured Maple back, sides and neck, European Spruce top, FTC custom full body sunburst with buffed neck, custom Paua Pearl Decco fretboard inlays and full Ivoroid bindings are reminiscent of the model made famous by Eric Clapton. Custom Paua Pearl 42-style top purfling, rosette and backstrip and wedge match the Decco inlays for a trim of color that pops off the burst finish. Adirondack Spruce and Hide Glue construction under the hood powers this versatile show piece that is sure to turn heads.Includes deluxe Ameritage hardshell case and Lifetime Warranty.Free shipping in the continental United States.–
