From the listing

Seller's description

An absolutely amazing dreadnought by Santa Cruz Guitar Company. The Vintage Artist model gives you the beautiful booming bass response paired with crystal clear trebles making it versatile across all styles. What sets this version apart from others is the premium Old Growth Mahogany that adds an extra layer of depth to the tone. About The Instrument Doc Watson, who owned the prototype of the Vintage Artist, said, "This is the Dreadnought I've been looking for all my life." In 1991, Richard Hoover collaborated with vintage experts to identify the most desirable qualities of the iconic Pre-War D-18. Maestro Watson's contributions to the concept were born of an appreciation of the clarity of Mahogany's tone and his requirements for playability. After Doc's test pilot duties on the prototype, he offered this thoughtful testimonial: "Son, what do I have to do to keep this guitar?" We present this instrument as the tonal equal and technical superior to the most respected Pre-War guitars. This instrument features an advanced, scalloped X-bracing for powerful bass, complemented by the clear tone and definition of master grade Mahogany.
