Santa Cruz FTC 50th Anniversary
A magnificent example of Santa Cruz’s arched-back small-jumbo F model.
Santa Cruz Guitars is offering an exceptional collection of special instruments to celebrate its 50th anniversary. We already checked out the OMPW 50th Anniversary and the 1929 00 50th Anniversary, and in this video, I take a look at the FTC 50th Anniversary. The Santa Cruz FTC is the flagship model of the company’s mini-jumbo F series, and it has the distinction of featuring a carved, arched back. The anniversary edition is built with spectacular flamed maple back and sides, and its special features include art-deco fingerboard inlays and a meticulously detailed scrimshaw heel-cap depicting the famous Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
