Santa Cruz Fire Fly Vault Series

Introducing the Santa Cruz Fire Fly Vault Series, a masterpiece crafted by the renowned luthier Richard Hoover, who has spent over 50 years perfecting the art of guitar making. Unveiled at NAMM 2024, the Vault Series showcases the culmination of Hoover's expertise, featuring four exceptional guitars. Among them, our personal favorite, the Fire Fly, has made its way to Dubai, ready to enchant musicians with its unparalleled sound.

Despite its smaller-bodied design, the Fire Fly boasts a sonic presence that defies its size, thanks to the extraordinary selection of woods meticulously chosen by Hoover himself. The centerpiece of this guitar is its Ancient Sinker Cypress top dating back precisely 1630 years and recovered from a Carolina swamp. This ancient wood imbues the Fire Fly with a tone that is rich, resonant, and deeply soulful, setting it apart as a truly unique instrument.

Paired with a Micro Flame back and side set, featuring vibrant hues of orange, brown, red, yellow, and hints of green, the Fire Fly exudes visual allure as striking as its sound. Impeccable craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the ivoroid body binding with black/Maple/black side purfle to the Abalone rosette and top border, showcasing Santa Cruz Guitars' commitment to excellence.

Further enhancing its appeal are the premium features that adorn the Fire Fly, including an ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding with Abalone purfle, a Flag of Nations back strip, and a Microflame Walnut peghead overlay. The instrument is adorned with intricate inlays, such as the Mother of Pearl Santa Cruz script with Emerald window peghead inlay and the century block fingerboard inlay, adding a touch of elegance to its design.

Designed for both stage and studio, the Fire Fly comes equipped with an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system, ensuring pristine amplified sound. It is setup with Santa Cruz Guitar Company's Parabolic LOW Tension strings, delivering optimal playability and tone.
