New Santa Cruz Guitars We Like to Stock at the Denver Folklore Center

For over a decade we have been a proud dealer for Santa Cruz guitars. These are wonderful hand-built instruments from the small shop of Richard Hoover, who has been building guitars since 1972. Some of his better known customers include Eric Clapton, Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Elvis Costello, Warren Haynes, and Harry Tuft.

In addition to the new Santa Cruz guitars shown on this page, from time to time we might have a pre-owned Santa Cruz guitar listed on the Older & Vintage Instruments page.


Santa Cruz "Otis Taylor" Model

The new Otis Taylor Signature Model can be viewed and played at the store - owned by "our owner", who also had some input into the design.

Santa Cruz Nineteen Twenty-Nine Model

To honor the simple and elegant presence of instruments made for players enduring the Great Depression of 1929, Santa Cruz designed a simple and refined guitar, an interesting replica of a Martin 00-17, with a solid headstock and 12 frets to the body. The Nineteen Twenty-Nine Guitar – a timely marriage of extraordinary lutherie and soul comforting simplicity – is now available at the Denver Folklore Center.

With hard shell case. List price $3,625
