Santa Cruz Guitar Company Picks Elixir® Strings For New Otis Taylor OT Signature Acoustic

May 08, 2008

The Santa Cruz Guitar Company, a leading handmade acoustic guitar manufacturer, is introducing its newest model, the "Otis Taylor OT signature acoustic," coined after famed blues musician Otis Taylor. This represents the latest in Santa Cruz Guitar Company's catalogue to feature Elixir® Strings, pioneer of long-life strings, (http://www.elixirstrings.com/).

"We have been using Elixir Strings on all of our guitar models since first discovering the company in 2000," explains Willie Carter, Sales & Marketing, Santa Cruz Guitar Company. "Once we ship our guitars to the stores, we lose control over the consistency of the string tone quality, which can be affected by the amount of customers who are sampling the guitars in the showroom. In using Elixir Strings on our models, we have confidence that the string quality that exists when we ship the guitars to retailers will last for months while they are housed in the shops."

Based on its H-13 model, Santa Cruz Guitar Company's new Otis Taylor OT signature acoustic is strung with Elixir® Strings Acoustic Light with NANOWEB® Coating and consists of Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, Italian Spruce Top, Adirondack spruce bracing with hot hide glue as well as customized tint, OT fretboard and headstock. With an MSRP of $6905.00, the Otis Taylor OT signature guitar is available for order now.
