Santa Cruz Guitar Company was established by luthier Richard Hoover in 1976. The small company soon became known for their superior craftmanship, attention to fine detail and their environmental awareness that has resulted in their green philosophy of only using both reclaimed wood and responsibly harvested new wood.

We offer full repairs and services for Santa Cruz guitars including:
