  • Wow…. That really is nice…. I just played a second hand unit (in VGC) in a shop here and it didn't sound anything like this, wherein I just handed it back to the guy… Even with old strings, for the money, I would have expected to get an inkling of the guitar's voice, but I didn't… comme ci comme ça…

  • No ivory plastic on that guitar period. No plastic period. Gives santa cruz a bad name. Cheap.

  • Too much low end, overpowering the trebles , nice dreadnought sound for small body but not for me. Thanks for the review.

  • ???? lucky enough to acquire a 2009 H-13 in EIR w/tobacco burst spruce top and pearloid solid headstock ????❕ it's such a fabulous sounding and playing guitar ; i rank the H-13 right at the top , tied among the best three acoustic steel string designs ever developed together with the OOO-12 fret (& OO-12) and the traditional OM ❕???? ????

  • ???? I would argue from experience the scgc H-13 is one of the best top acoustic steel string guitar builds on the planet together with the Martin OOO-28VS ❕❕ ???? ????
    H-13 L????ks so crazy hot/sweet ????????
    — have a 2009 version with tobacco burst top over EIR , solid headstock w/pearlized scgc script logo , a bit unusual but ????????

  • Nice guitar, very nice. Just can't get used to 1 3/4 inch nut width after playing since 1969 ( funny as I learnt on a classical with a 2" wide fingerboard at 13. Terry from Oz.

  • That's a great sounding guitar. Love that it's 13 fret and with slotted head stock.

  • Richard and his crew are amazing out there. My wife and I stopped a couple years ago when we were in California . We were the only ones there that day and he spent a couple hours with us going over everything from wood selection to the completed instrument ! What a fantastic guitar manufacturer. I still want Richard to make me one sometime. Thanks Tony !

  • Wow….I was hoping to be underwhelmed…..but…it really does sound good…just checked the price on that model…..and it would appear this video is as close as I'll ever get to owning one 😉

  • If you dont mind me asking, which guitar(s) comes close to the tone on these but with a better price? Preferably with a short scale. I also love the Vintage southerner

  • Had the pleasure of playing 3 different SC today, they all sounded amazing! To bad the price range was 5k cause i wanted it

  • Great demo, Tony. You've sold me on the SCGC H13. And Mark Bush, the new $17.5K H13 that you spotted has Brazilian Rosewood back and rim. That contributes to its mark up. The Euro Spruce/ Figured Mahogany H13 shown comes in under $6K, if I am not mistaken.
