Dreadnought (D) Model

D The strength of the typical dreadnought guitar is in its power and volume, which are achieved by the guitar's large body size. The increased air space also gives the instrument a predisposition to the bass range, an asset to some playing styles and a detriment to others. The Santa Cruz Model D has a unique tapered bracing voiced to enhance the midrange and treble without compromising the bass tones. This voicing gives the model D a more even balance and a greater versatility than traditionally braced dreadnoughts. We present the Model D to the guitarist who needs an instrument capable of great presence and balance, as well as the volume and power necessary to stand out in ensemble playing.
