PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Santa Cruz HT/13 Happy Traum Signature guitar is a masterful blend of premium craftsmanship and vintage tone, designed in collaboration with legendary folk guitarist Happy Traum. This model showcases a classic and timeless aesthetic with its use of Old Growth Redwood for the top, paired beautifully with East Indian Mahogany for the back and sides. The result is a guitar that delivers warm, rich, and articulate sound perfect for fingerstyle playing, flatpicking, and open tunings.
Built with traditional techniques at Santa Cruz Guitar Company’s California workshop, the HT/13 model boasts a balanced voice with excellent projection and sustain. The Old Growth Redwood top adds a unique sonic character that enhances midrange clarity and crisp highs, while the mahogany body provides a focused low end and warm tonal depth. This guitar is a favorite among professional musicians and collectors who appreciate detailed workmanship, reliability, and superior playability.
The Happy Traum Signature includes subtle aesthetic touches like an abalone rosette and vintage-style tuners, reinforcing its classic look. It’s a versatile acoustic guitar suitable for both studio recording and live performance, making it a highly sought-after instrument for serious players.
