        Hi Gang

        I guess this must be my first post here are being a member for some years.

        Im excited to become a Santa Cruz owner later this year, just put in an order for a OM grand. I’ve spec’d out with forward  shifted bracing, long diamonds and squares fretboard inlays, short scale, adi top and indian rosewood back and sides.

        I wanted to make it a bit of an all rounder, bit o picking and a bit o strumming.

        Anyhoo, I’ve been lusting after one ever since I did the factory tour some 5 or 6 whilst on tour with my band – Richard and the crew couldn’t have been nicer.

        Cheers Andrew Melbourne Australia

              Good for you. I’m jealous of coarse. That would be fun. I’ve only purchased ready made SC guitars.

                Sounds terrific Andrew. I worked with Carolyn to spec out an OMG that I took delivery of 3 years ago. It’s amazing and definitely qualifies as a lifetime guitar. Keep us posted on your build. I expect it will be magnificent.

                  Thanks for your kind words fellas – will be sure to keep you posted and will be sure to keep you updated.

                  I was very close to ordering with mahogany back and sides but the night before I ordered, i watched a youtube demo of a rosewood back and sides – after I picked my jaw up off the floor i was sold on rosewood. In both tone and beauty. I do love mahogany (I even built and 59 LP jnr 100% hog) but the demo was just amazing.

                  Anyhoo, the shop I ordered it through hope to take delivery of it in December along with a fresh batch of their own. If I get any progress pics I’ll be sure to post :).

                  Now off to do so practice in anticipation.

                          Carolyn tells me that my guitar as of last week is in the finishing process so, shan’t be too long before it’s winging it’s way to Australia.

                          Starting to get a wee bit excited ?

                                  My guitar has finally landed. Had the email from the acoustic centre telling me so. Only trouble is that I won’t be able to make it there till the weekend.

                                    Sure you can’t just call in sick and pick it up today? Newguitaritis – I’d recommend you take about a week off to make sure you’re completely better before you infect anyone around you –

                                        Ha ha I wish. Have a long day ahead of me visiting new train stations out in rural Victoria (Au).

                                        I’ll be at the store waiting for it to open sat morning.

                                          Lovely guitar. It should keep a smile on your face.

                                            Wait – are you saying your job is to ride the train and play guitar?  That’s a pretty sweet gig –
