See the New Reserve Register, Retailer and Support Collaborating with our friends at Cervélo, we've taken Reserve into a new dimension.Įngineering, racing, and service is our mantra. It was only a matter of time before we moved up to our next challenge - aerodynamics. The Reserve gravel range was born at NAHBS in 2019.

Not only does strength, weight, and durability matter, but ride quality also. Fully rigid off-road bikes demand a sophisticated carbon rim layup in order to retain control and comfort. Within 12 months, Reserve leaped from unknown up-start to one of the most highly-rated carbon wheel makers in the mountain bike market.īuoyed by the positive reception, we swiftly moved into gravel. At the time, carbon rims with a lifetime guarantee were unheard of.

The motivation was simple we knew we could make the most durable strength-to-weight composite wheels on the market, and were prepared to back that claim up with a lifetime guarantee. What is amazing is that this was just finished by your shop earlier this year, so it’s “the worst it is ever going to sound” right now, and it’s already the best guitar I’ve ever played.Reserve was founded in 2014 by engineers from Santa Cruz Bicycles. Heirloom quality both in aesthetics and in sound. This guitar took the positives I heard from the other BRW guitars, and turned up the dial to 11. Santa Cruz isn’t just using Brazilian rosewood in the 1934D, they’re using the real deal old growth Brazilian. However none of the other Brazilian guitars inspired me to pay the extra money for them, and those guitars were half the price of the 1934 D. Brazilian just sounds so much sweeter, has a more balanced sound, and more controlled and pleasing overtones than East Indian. I’ve played a few Brazilian backed guitars in the past (Martin, Taylor and Bourgeois) and can appreciate the tonal difference between Brazilian and East Indian rosewood. I am so grateful to your shop’s attention to detail and craftsmanship. This 1934 D feels and sounds like it’s in a class of its own. I own some mighty fine instruments, two of your OMs, a Collings OM, a Bourgeois D Vintage Heirloom, a Huss and Dalton TD-R. She has made every other guitar in my collection weep.
FORUM DE SANTA CRUZ HOW TO
Tuned her up to pitch and I don’t know how to say this. I hope that we have captured some of the spirit of your fine legacy through the loving creation of your signature model. Thank you Happy and family for your service to others and for your profound influence on me and the values of Santa Cruz Guitar Company. The number of times you’ve heard his influence in the recordings of others is incalculable. From the beginnings in Washington Square, through Woodstock (the state of mind), and with many of today’s vibrant new acoustic artists, you’ve heard Happy’s personal rock-solid guitar and vocal presence at least 10,000 times. Happy is the musician’s musician, having supported and launched a hundred stellar careers with his Homespun Tapes. Its influence has affected my choices in education, my circle of friends, my career as a guitar maker, my good fortune in marrying up and the lasting and fulfilling friendship with Happy and Jane Traum and their gifted family. That instructional book from Happy Traum made a bond between me and my guitar that has become the determining factor in my life’s direction. This turned out to be Happy and Artie Traum’s Fingerstyle guitar method with Tablature, a way to see how to play guitar just like my musical heroes on the old records. How the heck did adults even know who John Hurt was, I wondered. In the upper racks, next to the Police Gazette and Swank was a book with a picture of Mississippi John Hurt on the cover. Instead, I found a book that changed my life. Ramparts was the only, bomb in every issue, alternative press I could access. My hometown of 17,000 then was in the middle of the Great San Joaquin Valley and a vast cultural void. Today we made a dream come true! The Happy Traum Signature Model completes the circle begun in 1969 when I snuck into George Brown’s Newsstand to get the new Ramparts Magazine. Introducing the new HAPPY TRAUM SIGNATURE MODEL HT/13
