Santa Cruz H13 Sitka Spruce Mahogany Acoustic Guitar #1936

The Santa Cruz H-13 is a uniquely powerful small-body acoustic guitar designed to deliver the presence, projection, and tonal depth of a larger instrument. Inspired by historic 13-fret designs, the H-13 blends vintage character with Santa Cruz’s exceptional craftsmanship.

By joining the neck at the 13th fret, the bridge is positioned in an ideal spot for maximum tonal power. A slightly deeper body adds air volume and enhances bass response, while a longer string length increases saddle pressure for added projection and clarity. The result is a compact guitar with surprising richness, balance, and dynamic range.

This model pairs a Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides—a classic tonewood combination known for warmth, articulation, and versatility. Whether used for expressive fingerstyle, blues, or vocal accompaniment, the H-13 offers remarkable responsiveness and a refined, resonant voice.

Includes original Santa Cruz hardshell case.
