2025 Santa Cruz HT/13 Happy Traum Signature

Description

Happy Traum taught the world how to play guitar. This includes Richard Hoover, who learned from Happy's "Fingerpicking Styles for Guitar" when he was just a teenager, years before the two would forge their friendship.

To be able to build a signature model decades later for such an icon in the guitar world is not only an honor, but a privilege that Santa Cruz Guitar Company takes very seriously.

The HT/13 combines genuine Honduras Mahogany back and sides paired with salvaged, old growth Redwood and Adirondack bracing with hot hide glue in a small but deep bodied guitar that delivers a bright, rich and clear tone with quick responsiveness, hearty low end and exceptional volume.
