About Santa Cruz Guitar Company
Santa Cruz Guitar Company has built guitars in Santa Cruz, California since 1976, when Richard Hoover founded the shop to bring violin-lutherie traditions into acoustic guitar building. Each top is tap-tuned by hand in a strictly climate-controlled workshop. The shop's connection with Tony Rice — the Tony Rice Model is modeled on his pre-war Martin D-28 — anchored its reputation in bluegrass flatpicking, and the catalog has expanded over five decades into a deep custom-shop operation where most builds are individually specified rather than spec-built.
About Organic Sounds Select Guitars
Organic Sounds Select Guitars is Larry and Debbie's family-run shop on N. Tustin Avenue in central Santa Ana, in the heart of Orange County. The shop's name doubles as its philosophy: "the right instrument feels alive in your hands, it feels organic" is the marketing line, and the curation reflects that — a focused, intentional catalog of around 300 instruments rather than a high-volume retail floor. The active boutique acoustic shelf runs deep on Huss & Dalton (one of the deepest H&D inventories in the atlas) and Santa Cruz (vintage 1929-D, Tony Rice signature, 50th Anniversary, and OM-Skye coverage), with rotating Lowden, Goodall, Gallagher, McNally, Olson, Waterloo, Kevin Ryan, Preston Thompson, TreeHouse, and Bourgeois. The storefront also hosts a periodic live concert series featuring touring acoustic players, and the shop is a short drive from the Anaheim Convention Center (home of the winter NAMM show). For Southern California boutique-acoustic shoppers — especially those tracking H&D — Organic Sounds is one of the deepest in-person catalogs in the region.
