Santa Cruz Guitar Company (SCGC) is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special exhibit at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH), running from June 18 to October 4. The show highlights the company's history and craftsmanship.
- The exhibit features five limited-edition 50th anniversary guitars, including the OM Pre-War and FTC models. - A one-of-a-kind all-redwood H13 Model, made from a 5,000-year-old redwood unearthed after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, is the centerpiece.
- Founder Richard Hoover emphasizes sustainable practices, using reclaimed wood and partnering with multi-generational wood suppliers. The anniversary also includes a concert at the Rio Theatre on September 19 with The Brothers Comatose and other artists.
SCGC's legacy is one of handmade quality, environmental stewardship, and training future luthiers.
