The old growth Honduran mahogany on this 2014 Santa Cruz H/13 Custom was harvested in the 1930s, when Gibson was building the Nick Lucas Specials that inspired the H/13. Turn the guitar over and you can follow the long, dark grain from heel to tail, with a slender zipper backstrip running down the center. Santa Cruz paired that mahogany with Adirondack spruce in place of the customary Sitka, carved the tapered and scalloped braces from Adirondack as well, and assembled the guitar with hot hide glue.
The H/13 owes much of its voice to the way those compact curves and deep sides work together. Joining the neck at the 13th fret lets Santa Cruz retain a scale length of 25.375 inches while placing the bridge where it can drive the lower bout. The extra body depth lends weight to the low strings, a lovely quality for fingerpicked blues, where the thumb can carry the rhythm while a treble melody takes its time above it. The Honduran mahogany neck has Santa Cruz’s standard V carve, with 1 3/4 inches across the nut and 2 3/16 inches of string spacing at the bridge. The whole guitar weighs just 3 pounds 6 ounces.
The Style 28 treatment gives this H/13 a character all its own. Fine herringbone traces the narrow waist and rounded shoulders of the honey gold top. Beside the ivoroid rosette, the Dalmatian pickguard picks up the colors of both woods in swirls of amber and dark brown. Grained ivoroid frames the body, ebony fingerboard and slotted headstock, where nickel Waverly tuners with matching grained ivoroid buttons flank the rosewood veneer. A miniature SCGC inlay at the 16th fret leaves the rest of the fingerboard beautifully spare. Below it, the crisp facets of the ebony pyramid bridge catch the light, as do the mother of pearl dots in its ebony pins.
This H/13 Custom is in very good condition. The photos show superficial finish scuffs on the body, neck and headstock, along with light pick scuffs on the guard. The finer marks on the mahogany back and rosewood headstock face are easiest to see in reflected light. The guitar comes with its original Ameritage Santa Cruz case.
