Santa Cruz Guitars is known for instruments that use exquisite materials and are built to the highest standards. Furthermore, most of the company’s guitars include some degree of custom features. Carter Vintage Exchange recently took delivery of a Santa Cruz OM built with highly figured mahogany from “The Tree” and also featuring an elaborate “Tree of Life” inlay in the fingerboard. In this video, guitarist Bill Cooley uses the guitar to play his arrangement of “I”m So Lonesome I Could Cry.”
