Handmade Acoustic Guitars by the Santa Cruz Guitar Company

Luthier Richard Hoover began building guitars and carved-top mandolins in 1972. By 1976 his focus was on the modern steel string guitar. The task of becoming a master at all aspects of guitar making is a lifelong pursuit, and Richard has patiently refined his craftsmanship and knowledge as his boutique company has grown. His handmade custom acoustic guitars are played by some of the world's best players, including Eric Clapton, Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Warren Haynes, Elvis Costello, and many others.
