The 2013 Santa Cruz H Custom is an exceptional expression of Richard Hoover's vision for the modern steel string guitar, blending remarkable responsiveness with the refined craftsmanship that has made Santa Cruz Guitar Company one of the world's most respected boutique builders. The H model is celebrated for its unique ability to deliver the warmth and balance of a smaller-bodied instrument while offering the power, headroom, and dynamic range typically associated with larger guitars. Whether played with a delicate fingerstyle touch or an assertive flatpick, it responds with effortless nuance, producing a voice that is articulate, rich, and deeply expressive.
Its Adirondack spruce top provides outstanding projection, clarity, and dynamic ceiling, rewarding both subtle playing and powerful attack with remarkable definition. Complementing the top is a stunning set of Amazon rosewood, Dalbergia spruceana, for the back and sides. Revered for its complex overtone content, strong fundamental response, and piano-like clarity, this increasingly scarce tonewood delivers exceptional depth, shimmering highs, and a full, authoritative bass. Together, these premium tonewoods create an instrument with extraordinary balance, sustain, and tonal sophistication that continues to mature beautifully with age.
Every detail reflects Santa Cruz's uncompromising attention to craftsmanship. Grained ivoroid body, fingerboard, and headstock bindings frame the instrument with understated elegance, while abalone top purfling and a matching abalone rosette add a refined touch of brilliance. A thin black backstrip provides a subtle visual accent, allowing the spectacular figure of the Amazon rosewood to remain the focal point. The Amazon rosewood headstock veneer is crowned by Santa Cruz's intricate Tree of Life inlay, creating a distinctive and timeless presentation.
The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to Santa Cruz's comfortable round profile, offering an inviting feel that encourages long playing sessions without fatigue. A Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and matching bridge provide a smooth, responsive playing surface while contributing additional warmth and clarity to the instrument's voice. The VJ headstock shape, black side position markers, and chrome Gotoh 510 tuning machines complete the guitar with elegant appointments and exceptional tuning stability.
Designed for effortless playability, the guitar features a 24.75 inch scale length, a 1 11/16 inch nut width, and 2 3/16 inch bridge spacing. These dimensions create a comfortable balance between easy fretting and generous string spacing, making the H equally rewarding for fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike.
This example is equipped with a professionally installed K&K Pure Mini pickup, preserving the guitar's natural acoustic character while providing a warm, organic amplified voice suitable for live performance or recording. It weighs an impressively light 4 pounds 11 ounces, allowing the instrument to resonate freely and respond with exceptional immediacy. The guitar is housed in its original Ameritage hard case, providing premium protection worthy of an instrument of this caliber.
Elegant, responsive, and extraordinarily versatile, this 2013 Santa Cruz H Custom represents the finest traditions of American lutherie. Combining rare tonewoods, masterful craftsmanship, and a voice of remarkable depth and refinement, it is an inspiring instrument equally suited to the concert stage, the recording studio, or a lifetime of personal enjoyment.
