Santa Cruz Firefly 50th Anniversary

 

A celebratory edition of one of Santa Cruz Guitar’s most popular models.

 
April 8, 2026
 
 

Conceived as a contemporary parlor guitar, the Santa Cruz Firefly was first introduced in the late ‘90s. With a 14-fret neck and a body that uses the popular mini-jumbo design with even smaller dimensions, the Firefly feels like a modern guitar with an old soul. Whether used as a travel guitar, an easy-to-play instrument for guitarists who prefer smaller instruments, or a secret weapon in the studio, the Firefly has become an integral part of the Santa Cruz catalog. The latest version of the guitar is part of the Santa Cruz 50th Anniversary Collection. Built with Indian rosewood back and sides and a cedar top, the guitar offers the company’s famously meticulous craftsmanship and fine-tuned sound in a small package. In this video, Peghead Nation’s Teja Gerken demonstrates the guitar .
