1993 Santa Cruz F Model – Flamed Maple Back & Sides, Sitka Spruce Top
This 1993 Santa Cruz F is a standout example of the model’s versatile “small jumbo” body shape that blends impressive acoustic power with fingerstyle comfort. The F features a 16” lower bout with OM-style shoulders and a narrower waist, delivering excellent balance, clarity, and dynamic response that works beautifully for both strumming and intricate picking.4
Woods & Build:
• Solid Sitka spruce top
• Flamed maple back and sides
• Mahogany neck with a comfortable profile
• Ebony fingerboard and bridge
• Classic Santa Cruz appointments including ivoroid binding, multi-stripe rosette, and tasteful inlays
Condition: Excellent for a 33-year-old instrument. It shows only light, honest signs of use with some attractive finish checking on the top—typical and desirable aging for a high-quality Santa Cruz from this era. No major dings, cracks, or repairs noted. The guitar has been professionally Plek’d, resulting in a flawless fret job and perfect setup straight out of the shop. Plenty of saddle height remains for future adjustments, and the nut width is a player-friendly 1 11/16” (standard for many Santa Cruz models).
Playability & Sound:
The Plek process has optimized the frets under string tension for incredibly low, buzz-free action with smooth bends and excellent intonation across the neck. This guitar sounds excellent—rich, articulate, and well-balanced with the signature Santa Cruz clarity and responsiveness. Maple back and sides bring out a bright, focused tone with strong projection and note separation, while the Sitka top adds warmth and dynamic range. It handles fingerstyle, open tunings, and light strumming with equal authority, making it a fantastic performing or recording instrument.
This is a well-cared-for vintage Santa Cruz that plays like a much newer guitar thanks to the expert Plek setup. Ready to go for the next player who appreciates precision and tone. Includes high-quality hardshell case.
