Details

The Santa Cruz Founder Collection H/13 in Sitka Spruce and Honduran Mahogany is a beautifully understated instrument that celebrates the heritage, craftsmanship, and tonal philosophy of Santa Cruz Guitar Company. Featuring a Sitka spruce top paired with Honduran mahogany back and sides, this H/13 delivers a balanced, warm, and articulate voice with excellent clarity, responsiveness, and projection. Its carefully scalloped and tapered Sitka spruce bracing enhances the instrument's natural resonance, producing an expressive tonal character that is equally rewarding for fingerstyle playing and strumming.

The mahogany neck features a traditional V profile, a comfortable 1 3/4-inch nut width, and a 25.375-inch scale length. An ebony fingerboard with ivoroid binding offers a clean, elegant appearance, while the standard slotted peghead is finished with an ebony overlay and distinctive ivoroid script logo. Additional appointments include an ebony pyramid-style bridge with 2 3/16-inch spacing, ebony bridge pins with mother-of-pearl dots, and nickel Waverly tuners with ivoroid oval buttons.

Visually, this H/13 pairs classic detailing with a distinctive vintage aesthetic. Ivoroid body binding and rosette are complemented by S29 top borders, backstrip, and tail strip, while the tortoise H13 pickguard adds a touch of traditional character. The Sitka spruce top features a beautiful teardrop sunburst, contrasted by a tobacco-colored body finish and matte-finished mahogany neck. Thoughtfully appointed throughout, the instrument reflects the understated elegance and attention to detail synonymous with Santa Cruz.

Weighing just 3 pounds, 9 ounces, the Santa Cruz Founder Collection H/13 offers an exceptionally comfortable playing experience with the tonal richness and refinement of a finely crafted mahogany-bodied acoustic. Finished with SCGC low-tension strings and accompanied by its dedicated SCG-H13S case, this is a distinctive and highly musical interpretation of a classic small-bodied design, combining timeless materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the unmistakable character of Santa Cruz guitars.
