I have for sale a 2006 Santa Cruz H-13. As suggested in the name, it has 13 frets, exactly like the old Nick Lucas Gibsons. It has the top profile of a 00-sized guitar but is long scale and has the same depth of a Dread. This combination produces an amazingly rich bass and volume response from flat picking to fingerstyle. Additionally, of all the guitars I've ever owned none of them ever had the "ring" that this one does from frets 5 through 12. Selling for $2,650. You can reach me either via PM or at mhicks0203 at gmail dot com.
I am (I believe) the second owner of this guitar. I traded an HD 28VS for it thinking I would bond with it but havent' been able to put the Nash and J45 down long enough to appreciate it. When I received it in Feburary it did come with a few minor issues that effect in no way the playability or sound of this amazing instrument. They are:
a) The Soundhole has a small "chip" in it at 6 o'clock:
b) The lower bout on the bass side has two small dings:
c) The headstock seems to have suffered from being the victim of someone's first few slothead string changes:
Other than those things, the guitar is absolutely perfect. See Santa Cruz's write up on the guitar here, where the following specification was taken:
