Santa Cruz OM PW Pre War 50th Anniversary

Santa Cruz is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, and to mark this festive occasion, they're releasing five of their most iconic instruments in a limited edition, including this Pre-War OM. These guitars feature a unique heel cap and a beautiful label with a gold wax stamp!

The OM Pre-War captures the magic of the legendary pre-World War II Orchestra Models. These vintage instruments are prized for their warm, woody tone and exceptional balance. The Santa Cruz OM Pre-War model combines historically accurate appointments with modern craftsmanship techniques to deliver an instrument that honors the past while meeting today's performance standards.

Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. The Pre War design package is presented with understated and elegant appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. 

Under the hood, the Pre War design package honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. The OM/PW's versatility and ergonomics lend great appeal for traditional picking styles and impressive rhythm work. Expect the predominant bass and throaty presence of the surviving pre-war antiques. Includes a unique 50th heel cap and interior label.

The guitar comes with TFOA passport in an Ameritage hardshell case.
