I was lucky to play Brozman #1 when Bob handed me his at a residential seminar at his house. I loved it, but had no need for a baritone guitar.
I also happened to be at the old SCGC shop on Ingalls the day Bob picked up his #1. He drove his ’49 Caddy Convertible to get it.
I’ve seen SCGC guitars as high as $40 k these days. Ancient Kauri, 3,000 year old Spruce, 45 style inlay,$14,000 Brazilian add ons.
The high end is beyond my reach.
Being a Cruz owner for 41 years, I’ve seen a few SCGC forums die and be reborn.
Index and Daniel keep this one free from the scam and bot attacks hat killed the others.
If the Forum were to connect with Instagram, there might be more traffic.
Almost 2 years ago, I had a 30 minute NYE gig in the works. After I wrote out 30 minutes of music, a mix of my own and early Frank Zappa, in Standard changes, I realized the sax was in B Flat.
After struggling through one rewrite, I gave it to the sax player to transpose the music.
I play most every day going back and forth between Standard and Altered tunings. Scales covering three octaves up and down the neck, complicated changes, bluegrass, jazz, rock, blues, surf music.
Fun stuff.
When I got my Cruz Missile, I was playing in dropped D and Open D.
After hearing Richard Thompson play Banish Misfortune,I discovered DADGAD.
Alex DeGrassi gave DADEAD and I started to get creative with other tunings. DADGCD and CGDGAD work well.
