Richard Hoover is the very first to speak the words and has the same conviction I've always had about how to approach a guitar build! From looking and studying the materials of violin making to knowing the age of the wood with regard to the growth rings, etc. There’s no detail, regarding materials and what they will do overlooked. His belief in only using old growth and not wanting to participate in the destruction of the Amazon forest also appeals very much to me. Finally someone who understands and actually practices what he preaches! That's what I call being professional and staying true to your values and beliefs. It simply cannot be better. Kudos to this man and his fellow luthiers and other employees who run an awesome company. And the fact that they are also a custom shop and can build the ideal guitar for everyone with their own specific wishes is the icing on the cake!
Richard and the people there are really special people! One of the happiest moments I spent in my life was when I had the immense pleasure of visiting the shop in 2010. Hope to get back soon!
Richard: This video is so Santa Cruz Guitar of which you are. Outstanding. I still have my 1980 FTC as well as my 1983 Tony Rice model. They both look like new & are absolute treasures.
Awesome video. Very well done and very informative. Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through your epic journey of a custom SCGC build. Can't wait to see the final product.
Awe inspiring show and interview with Richard. He has such an amazing person and craftsman. I am just starting to learn guitar and aspire to get to point where my playing could do justice to such beautiful guitars like Santa Cruz's
This dude is so cool. I wish I would of known he was the main man of Santa Cruz. Might of bought one of these but instead of a Gibson Still love my Gibson though
