{"product_id":"santa-cruz-d12-maple-acoustic-guitar-2014","title":"Santa Cruz D12 Maple Acoustic Guitar 2014 [USED]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is a Santa Cruz D12 Maple Acoustic Guitar from 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegendary artist and first call session ace, Norman Blake, has long appreciated\u003cbr\u003ethe power and sensitivity of the original dreadnought design with 12 frets clear of\u003cbr\u003ethe body. The prototype D-12 Model was commissioned to showcase Norman’s playing style by adding clarity and sustain for an articulate response to the flat pick. Building a guitar with 12 frets clear of the body creates more air volume, which allows greater amplitude and sustain. The hand tuned X-bracing ensures an increased bass response, while the top voicing and 4-1\/4 inch sound hole size combine to achieve great presence in all ranges. This eliminates the tendency of the traditional dreadnought towards boominess at the expense of midrange and treble. The Flamed Maple sides and back impart clarity and definition to the guitar’s complex acoustic presence. The D-12’s sheer volume, complexity, and incredible sustain make it a truly inspiring stage partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exquisitely customized Santa Cruz D12 twelve fret Dreadnought features a\u003cbr\u003emaster-grade Bear claw - figured Italian spruce top with Adirondack spruce\u003cbr\u003ebracing and hide-glue assembly, highly figured flamed maple back, sides, and\u003cbr\u003eneck; Herringbone and ivoroid accents and a full-sunburst, full gloss lacquer\u003cbr\u003efinish. It’s a glorious guitar, with tone and feel to match its great looks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanta Cruz builds their 12 fret dreadnoughts with an ear towards string balance,\u003cbr\u003efundamental presence and clarity, and a bass-end response that doesn’t absorb\u003cbr\u003eall of the guitar’s energy at the cost of mid-range and treble power. Anyone who\u003cbr\u003eappreciates a big-bodied guitar that offers balance, power, and huge headroom\u003cbr\u003ealong with the warmth and bass response of a typical D would be remiss not to\u003cbr\u003etry this guitar out. It’s a remarkable sounding machine that offers flatpickers\u003cbr\u003eeverything they want, but also offers the warmth and overtone richness\u003cbr\u003edemanded by fingerstylists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis D-12 is built with a slightly thinner body that has a depth of 4-3\/8” at the\u003cbr\u003eendpin and a 1” taper, and a soundhole diameter that’s increased to 4-1\/4”.\u003cbr\u003eThese are two of the less obvious secrets to this guitar’s incredible tone.\u003cbr\u003eThe two-piece bookmatched maple neck has a wonderfully comfortable C-carve\u003cbr\u003eand a nutwidth of 1-3\/4”. The scale is 25.4” and the string spread at the bridge is\u003cbr\u003e2-3\/16. The ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard is dressed up with slotted diamond\u003cbr\u003einlays, and the ivoroid-bound ebony headstock overlay features a pearl Santa Cruz\u003cbr\u003elogo. Schaller open-geared tuners and a well adjusted bone nut offer smooth and\u003cbr\u003epredicable tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in very good overall shape with only very minor cosmetic play wear and comes with the original Ameritage hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
