Oh my goodness, its here! And what a punch this little guy packs! The brand new Santa Cruz Firefly Custom Redwood is the most versatile small bodied guitar on the market! So elegantly thought out by Mr Richard Hoover, whom designed a 3/4 sized guitar that can literally do it all! Upgraded with a Redwood top over Indian Rosewood, as well as Koa binding throughout, this little dude looks as good as it sounds!
Santa Cruz is thoroughly represented in television, film and top 40 hits of most genres by first call session aces. The celebrity front man usually sports an instrument on stage that is supplied by the brand with the biggest artist relations budget. But when it comes to their recordings, only the best guitar and player will do. Santa Cruz has provided the top studio professionals with style specific customizations for decades. The FireFly concept: Current technology has allowed artists to lay down tracks from remote locations creating a need for a sophisticated guitar that travels well and still delivers a professional performance. Some impartial observations from Guitar Player Magazine: “I’ve never reviewed a guitar that caused so many people to utter some variation on the phrase, “This might be the best guitar I’ve played in my life.” “This isn’t just the best small bodied guitar that I’ve played in years – this is one of the best guitars I’ve ever played period.” “The SCGC FireFly is a truly inspirational composing guitar.” To read the complete review, click here.
