Last Fall, we welcomed Hawai'an slack key fingerstly guitarist Ravi Lamb to the SCGC Shop Studio! Hawai'ian slack key guitar uses many open tunings - Open D and Taro Patch (Open G) are most commonly found.
Most modern sets of guitar strings are manufactured to hold tensions at E Standard, but the DADGAD sets from Santa Cruz Guitar Company's Parabolic Tension line of strings are specially formulated for optimal tone, playability and sound when utilizing the different tensions that result from open tunings.
As someone that plays frequently in different tunings (including slack key open G but also standard tuning) on my H13, can these strings be used for standard as well? Just trying to figure out if I should opt for regular parabolic low tension and have my low E string go as slack as D or even C, or if it is safe to tune these DADGAD strings in standard as well.
On the latest episode of the Santa Cruz Guitar Player's Forum Podcast, Richard Newman and Tad Laird sit down with Nashville's #1 repair man and innovator Joe Glaser as he shares his deep understanding of guitars and how they work.
Joe holds several patents along with having the best players in Nashville in his stable. Joe also brought the first PLEK machine to the United States and he talks about how this incredible devise has changed throughout the years. A deep thinker and a genuinely fine human being, don't miss this one!

Listen to the results of a fresh, prosfessional grade setup and refret via Santa Cruz Guitar Company's Plek Service department and a fingerstyle guitar master!
Portland based jazz guitarist Eric Skye was named by 20th Century Guitar Magazine as “one of the best rising stars of the American acoustic jazz scene.” This hardworking instrumentalist has gained a loyal following both as a dramatic and expressive live performer and an in-demand acoustic guitar instructor both in Oregon and in the online music community. He has been featured in magazines such as Acoustic Guitar, Guitar Player, Jazziz and Jazz Improv, and his music can be heard on NPR. To match his distinct personality and playing style, Eric and Richard collectively dreamed up a gorgeous Cocobolo OO with an Adirondack top, unique 24.9 inch scale length for ease of playability, slightly deeper body for added bass and volume, hot hide glue with Adirondack Spruce, scalloped bracing and a distinctive herringbone purfling and ivoroid rosette. This instrument is designed for the excruciatingly accurate and sophisticated techniques of the most demanding jazz fingerstylist.

We welcome Ravi Lamb, a wide-ranged guitarist from Hawai'i who joined the SCGC Family as an official endorsee of our Parabolic Tension string line and we are proud to feature this first studio session performance recorded last fall.
Hawai'an slack key guitar uses many open tunings - Open D and Taro Patch (Open G) are very common. Most modern sets of guitar strings are manufactured to hold tensions at E Standard, but the DADGAD sets from Santa Cruz Guitar Company's Parabolic Tension line of strings are specially formulated for optimal tone, playbility and sound when utilzing the different tensions that result from open tunings.
Listen to them here, and try them out for yourself! Available on our webstore, Amazon and as always, through your favorite local dealer.
Join Richard Hoover in the Santa Cruz Guitar Company wood room as he takes the time to thoroughly explain the discovery of Brazilian Rosewood, what makes for an ideal instrument and the state of the wood in today's day and age in this highly informative excerpt!
I paid $450 for BRW 42 years ago when Richard and Bruce built my Dread.
That was about 25% of the finished price.
Richard's reference to "processing" likely refers to the builder's liability to incur cracking or cupping during bending operations. The other aspect of straight grained, quartersawn sets are they are much easier to successfully repair visually during life if there is cracking that occurs due to storage conditions.
Thank you for all the information very informative
Good news for our Australian fans - The Acoustic Centre has restocked their supply of Parabolic Tension strings! #aussie#oz#santacruzguitarWe’ve had a few customers holding out for these. Parabolic strings from Santa Cruz Guitar are now back in stock on our website - including our first 12-string sets. 🎶
Do you want to learn more about how Santa Cruz Guitar checks out exactly what kind of set up your instrument needs? Sign up for our newsletter for an exclusive invitation opportunity for an in-person set-up clinic from Richard Hoover himself at the SCGC shop.
When you bring us something for any kind of set up - we check what the instrument needs at a microscopic level and deliver. Fret dressing, refretting, fingerboard planing, nut/saddle adjustments and ultimate personalization and the expert methodology of SCGC luthiers combined with the professional eye of the Plek machine returns the same instrument you love with a brand new feel.
"I just want to say that your Parabolic Tension strings are the best. The first thing you notice is the even volume across the strings. The tone is wonderful. I strung up my Martin 000 and happy to say it is hard to put it down. I look forward to the day when I can get a Santa Cruz guitar to complete my collection. I play mostly finger style with a soft touch. Your strings are simply the best for my ear."
Thank You, Daniel from Sterling, MA for the kind review and thoughtful testimonial! SCGC Parabolic Tension strings are engineered for the benefit of all acoustic guitars!
Visit your local dealer to find your perfect set or you can also order strings online via our website and Amazon.
Best string for my H13. The guitar sounds like a piano
I have these strings on four very different guitars. They sound and play great on all.
I’m not a great player but I put these strings on my four guitars!
I use the light tensions on all of my guitars. I haven't played a better string yet.
Ottime corde!
I used the mid tensions on my Custom D and my D/PW!! 👍
I really like the strings but too expensive given the frequency that I change

Proud to announce that the #scgcvault series guitars received an "Editor's Pick" at the NAMM Show. It's showcased on the Premier Guitar website and you can see the fine company we keep at the link in the comments! ... See MoreSee Less
The final day of #thenammshow2024 is upon us and that means we are pleased to release the details of our fourth and final Vault Series guitar debuting at the Santa Cruz Guitar Company booth 5102 in Hall D.
We saved this holy roller D Model dreadnought for Sunday for a reason. The major components of this build have hallowed origins. First, the Maestro Grade old growth Northern California redwood top hails from reclaimed timber beams that made up the room of the chapel from Fort Ross. Originally constructed in the 1820s by a fleet of Russia's southernmost North American base, the chapel suffered a fire and was rebuilt. The original surviving beams have largely been reclaimed as guitar tops thanks to our friends at Fort Ross Redwood Beam Guitar Tops.
Meanwhile the drop-dead and heart-swelling example of Brazilian Rosewood that comprises the body of this instrument comes from a recently acquired stash of wood that was abandoned in a stonewalled barn on the grounds of the Bryn Athyn Cathedral. Originally sourced in the early 1900s for inner adornments and lining of the finished Pennsylvanian cathedral, scores of leftover Brazilian Rosewood were left to age to perfection before Richard Hoover got the call just before the pandemic.
This first build from that Bryn Athyn stock also includes backlit tortoise binding with Abalone pufle in a 45 Style, backlit tortoise tail wedge with Abalone purfle, Abalone rosette and top border, J Style peghead, Bryn Athyn Cathedral Brazilian Rosewood peghead overlay, Moderne Vault with Diamond Window peghead inlay with Mother of Pearl Santa Cruz script logo, Moderne Vault fingerboard inlay, Bryn Athyn Cathedral scrimshaw heel hap, tortoise pickguard, engraved nickel Waverly tuners, Brazilian Rosewood bridge, EVO Gold fret wire, Moderne Vault inlay in bridge feet, Ebony bridge and end pins with Abalone dots, clear finish and LR Baggs HiFi pickup system. Setup with our SCGC Parabolic Mid Tension strings. This guitar has sold to Down Home Guitars in Frankfort, IL! Reach out to Steve with any questions.
This is so loud, resonate, three-dimensional, sustaining.. A truly amazing experience to play and hear.
My favorite Private Vault, because it pairs two iconic antique body wood combinations with complementary headstock, fingerboard and heel inlays!!!
I’m a huge Art Deco fan and inlays captured the feeling of Art Deco design to a T!
Simply amazing! Love the story behind all the amazing woods used in its construction. I would love to have a chance to play it. 🥂
Your Vault Series guitars are simply astonishing, amazing work.
Spectacular! 👏🏽
That’s really amazing.
Now THIS is my kinda box! Full bodied, big, bold and, what I imagine, LOUD! Gorgeous guitar!
HOLY Sh************!!!!!! Richard Hoover delivers once again!!
Wowwwwwwwwww!

Diamond in the headstock!?

Listen to the results of a fresh, prosfessional grade setup and refret via Santa Cruz Guitar Company's Plek Service department and a fingerstyle guitar master!
Portland based jazz guitarist Eric Skye was named by 20th Century Guitar Magazine as “one of the best rising stars of the American acoustic jazz scene.” This hardworking instrumentalist has gained a loyal following both as a dramatic and expressive live performer and an in-demand acoustic guitar instructor both in Oregon and in the online music community. He has been featured in magazines such as Acoustic Guitar, Guitar Player, Jazziz and Jazz Improv, and his music can be heard on NPR. To match his distinct personality and playing style, Eric and Richard collectively dreamed up a gorgeous Cocobolo OO with an Adirondack top, unique 24.9 inch scale length for ease of playability, slightly deeper body for added bass and volume, hot hide glue with Adirondack Spruce, scalloped bracing and a distinctive herringbone purfling and ivoroid rosette. This instrument is designed for the excruciatingly accurate and sophisticated techniques of the most demanding jazz fingerstylist.

We welcome Ravi Lamb, a wide-ranged guitarist from Hawai'i who joined the SCGC Family as an official endorsee of our Parabolic Tension string line and we are proud to feature this first studio session performance recorded last fall.
Hawai'an slack key guitar uses many open tunings - Open D and Taro Patch (Open G) are very common. Most modern sets of guitar strings are manufactured to hold tensions at E Standard, but the DADGAD sets from Santa Cruz Guitar Company's Parabolic Tension line of strings are specially formulated for optimal tone, playbility and sound when utilzing the different tensions that result from open tunings.
Listen to them here, and try them out for yourself! Available on our webstore, Amazon and as always, through your favorite local dealer.

Join Richard Hoover in the Santa Cruz Guitar Company wood room as he takes the time to thoroughly explain the discovery of Brazilian Rosewood, what makes for an ideal instrument and the state of the wood in today's day and age in this highly informative excerpt!

I paid $450 for BRW 42 years ago when Richard and Bruce built my Dread. That was about 25% of the finished price.
Richard's reference to "processing" likely refers to the builder's liability to incur cracking or cupping during bending operations. The other aspect of straight grained, quartersawn sets are they are much easier to successfully repair visually during life if there is cracking that occurs due to storage conditions.
Thank you for all the information very informative
fabulous talk. thanks!

That was an impressive amount of information. These are truly beautiful pieces.
"I just want to say that your Parabolic Tension strings are the best. The first thing you notice is the even volume across the strings. The tone is wonderful. I strung up my Martin 000 and happy to say it is hard to put it down. I look forward to the day when I can get a Santa Cruz guitar to complete my collection. I play mostly finger style with a soft touch. Your strings are simply the best for my ear."
Thank You, Daniel from Sterling, MA for the kind review and thoughtful testimonial! SCGC Parabolic Tension strings are engineered for the benefit of all acoustic guitars!
Visit your local dealer to find your perfect set or you can also order strings online via our website and Amazon.

Best string for my H13. The guitar sounds like a piano
I have these strings on four very different guitars. They sound and play great on all.
I’m not a great player but I put these strings on my four guitars!
I use the light tensions on all of my guitars. I haven't played a better string yet.
Ottime corde!
I used the mid tensions on my Custom D and my D/PW!! 👍
I really like the strings but too expensive given the frequency that I change

That is an incredible guitar, I’ve seen it up close or a model just like it at this years NAMM. Exquisite craftsmanship.

Stunning work of art ❤️🎶🎵
I was inside that Fort Ross Chapel several times throughout my early life many years before the fire. It is wonderful that a part of this historic place is now a special creation that makes music and is an amazing piece of playable art.

Forever grateful for the lessons of Galloup School of Guitar Building and Repair in the industry today, two of our recent additions to the team were able to reunite at the recent #nammshow last month.Namm was exceptional this year. We got to see some of our incredible former students and catch up with their lutherie careers. Both Sofia and Tara were highly skilled as students, and have now gone on to work at Santa Cruz guitars in California. This is just the beginning for them, and we're so excited to see what they accomplish in the industry. ... See MoreSee Less

The final day of #thenammshow2024 is upon us and that means we are pleased to release the details of our fourth and final Vault Series guitar debuting at the Santa Cruz Guitar Company booth 5102 in Hall D.
We saved this holy roller D Model dreadnought for Sunday for a reason. The major components of this build have hallowed origins. First, the Maestro Grade old growth Northern California redwood top hails from reclaimed timber beams that made up the room of the chapel from Fort Ross. Originally constructed in the 1820s by a fleet of Russia's southernmost North American base, the chapel suffered a fire and was rebuilt. The original surviving beams have largely been reclaimed as guitar tops thanks to our friends at Fort Ross Redwood Beam Guitar Tops.
Meanwhile the drop-dead and heart-swelling example of Brazilian Rosewood that comprises the body of this instrument comes from a recently acquired stash of wood that was abandoned in a stonewalled barn on the grounds of the Bryn Athyn Cathedral. Originally sourced in the early 1900s for inner adornments and lining of the finished Pennsylvanian cathedral, scores of leftover Brazilian Rosewood were left to age to perfection before Richard Hoover got the call just before the pandemic.
This first build from that Bryn Athyn stock also includes backlit tortoise binding with Abalone pufle in a 45 Style, backlit tortoise tail wedge with Abalone purfle, Abalone rosette and top border, J Style peghead, Bryn Athyn Cathedral Brazilian Rosewood peghead overlay, Moderne Vault with Diamond Window peghead inlay with Mother of Pearl Santa Cruz script logo, Moderne Vault fingerboard inlay, Bryn Athyn Cathedral scrimshaw heel hap, tortoise pickguard, engraved nickel Waverly tuners, Brazilian Rosewood bridge, EVO Gold fret wire, Moderne Vault inlay in bridge feet, Ebony bridge and end pins with Abalone dots, clear finish and LR Baggs HiFi pickup system. Setup with our SCGC Parabolic Mid Tension strings. This guitar has sold to Down Home Guitars in Frankfort, IL! Reach out to Steve with any questions.

This is so loud, resonate, three-dimensional, sustaining.. A truly amazing experience to play and hear.
My favorite Private Vault, because it pairs two iconic antique body wood combinations with complementary headstock, fingerboard and heel inlays!!! I’m a huge Art Deco fan and inlays captured the feeling of Art Deco design to a T!
Simply amazing! Love the story behind all the amazing woods used in its construction. I would love to have a chance to play it. 🥂
Your Vault Series guitars are simply astonishing, amazing work.
Spectacular! 👏🏽
That’s really amazing.
Now THIS is my kinda box! Full bodied, big, bold and, what I imagine, LOUD! Gorgeous guitar!
HOLY Sh************!!!!!! Richard Hoover delivers once again!!
Wowwwwwwwwww!

One of the standout features adorning the four debut pieces from the Vault of Richard Hoover - among several standout features - are the gemstone window in the peghead. Featuring a floating diamond, sapphire, emerald or ruby, each of these guitars is a knock out - from (peg)head to tail(wedge).
Come visit #santacruzguitars at the 2024 #nammshow - Hall D Booth 5102.
Online we will highlight one guitar a day, from smallest to largest.
Can you guess which gemstone belongs to which model?
