OM continues to be my favorite Cruz. In 1999 I found a plain Jane Mahogany and Adirondack model that was the finest SCGC I ever heard. I had to sell it for bathroom repairs. Broke my heart.
I’ve played many Cruz OMs since then, but that one was special.

Welcome aboard. Please tell us about yourself.Cheers,

I’ve had the strings on my OM since before Covid started. No crust, but I can hear its time to get a new set.
The first Cruz I ever saw was the FTC at Guitar Solo in San Francisco about 22 years ago. It was $1,000.
Everything I composed 20 years ago required 100 reps each. When I take out my Cruz, they must each be played in their entirety.
Sonny defines the term Bad Ass on guitar.
One day Bakersfield had Sonny at a blues festival and Govt Mule at a different venue.
I was on a plane heading to Oktoberfest in Munich and missed them both.
My friend, Don Alder, told me about James May. Don has tried most every pickup available. He met James and NAMM and was knocked out.
Don and I talked at great length about it.
May has a fix for K&K. The 2 KK I have lose sensitivity in the treble range on my guitars. May has figured out how to fix that.
We saw the Dead at Pigpen’s last show.
Hollywood Bowl, June 17, 1972. The night before it was the Mahavishnu Orchestra at the Whisky A Go Go. The week before? Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones at the Forum.
Great time to be 16 and free as a bird.
