Anyone near Palo Alto, CA?

[lostsailor]

Hello Forum Folks. I don’t know if this is a reasonable request, but I’ll give it a try. I’m on the East coast, and there’s a used Santa Cruz guitar I’m interested in that’s for sale at a music store in Palo Alto. I wonder if there’s a player on this forum who lives nearby and might have the time and be willing to stop in and check it out, then have a chat with me.

If so, please let me know, and we can take it from there.

Much appreciated!

A whole bunch of us live close (I’m assuming Gryphon), which one is it?

Hayden is pretty close.

Thanks! Yes, Gryphon. 2003 H-13 #666.

Lostsailor….. If you are in Florida I have a wonderful H-13 (not for sale) that you could exercise…just to get an idea.

Thank you, Hank! I’m in New England. Dang.

The owner has posted it on the UMGF buy and sell section as it is a consignment piece.  Might be worth reaching out for insight there as well. It looks like a cool one!

There are 2 H-12s by Froggy Bottom at TME right now, I can’t say that they’re a direct comparison to SCGC, and maybe comparing similar when you can’t play both isn’t helpful.

Thanks for the heads-up, Sadie!

I played it today and sent you a PM. I also got to play THE Nick Lucas that Richard used as the basis for the H-13 model. The original is stunning beyond words but #666 is a guitar that is on another plane, and it’s 1/5 the price of the Lucas, too much fun for me
