Santa Cruzin’, Brad Style

Brad’s current acoustic guitar of choice is his signature Santa Cruz, which is based on a pre-war dreadnought. “I’d been buying a lot of Santa Cruz guitars over the years,” he says. “Richard Hoover [Santa Cruz head honcho] offered to make me one and it’s a fantastic thing – you have to hear it!”

Specs-wise, you can expect a bear claw spruce top over solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a 1.75-inch nut, herringbone binding and a special cowboy hat inlay on the ebony veneer headstock. For further information on the guitar, head over to the website at www.santacruzguitar.com
