Any one bought Santa Cruz electric guitars from Bentley? How are they? What wood are they made of?

Do not! I saw them going last time for around 300+. Its definitely going to be a horrible axe. If you're on a budget, try and save up a little more and look at SX guitars. Much better choice.

anyone knows what wood are they made of?

wood?
well...coffee tables are made from nice mahogany, but can they be played?

just avoid the santa cruz and save future headaches.

Santa cruz... i think they have good acoustic, like the one i'm using, electric... nah.... if you want the cleaness, fender is much better.

DO NOT WANT!
Last time I tried one, I felt like I was playing a cardboard tube.

get la Stagg or SX, they sound better
seriously i tested a Stagg S-300, and it sounds great. shocking but true

i hv a Santa Cruz electric-acoustic...

I have a RM150 Santa Cruz dreadnought acoustic. Its actually quite good for the price, it sounds better than a few a my friend's more expensive acoustics. Their electrics on the other hand are just repulsive if i may say so.

Not taling about getting a better guitar or the acoustic one. I already have my main axe, Ibanez Iceman. Just thought of getting a spare les paul copy for fun since I saw the white coloured one and it looks beautiful.

how much is the santa cruz? RM400?

Ya, very true, but requires good pamper, haha. My dad bought another twin with the acoustic he got me, i brought my Santa Cruz along, took good care of her (cleaning her of dust, flirt around with her strings ), however her twin at home was not so lucky.. no one took care of her.. Went home few months ago, her neck bended, impossible to tune... how sad...

A bentley staff just told me that it was made of agathis... at least not plywood..

Doesn't matter. Agathis and plywood are both in the same boat, and its sinking.

at least plywood is still somewhat solid in one plane

i've seen a aria pro MIJ guitar from the 80s made from wat looked like compressed sawdust.

so yea, not everything MIJ is good.

that's like saying, "don't buy proton, BMW is much better" .

I mite get it as a trash guitar.. hehe.. still thinking.

i remember i picked up a santa cruz one time at rhapsody.
the body was pretty light and definitely much thinner than what a LP should be like.
if trash guitar, better just a SX strat for the same price.

wanted it for the LP body. though i hate the original bulky LP body. btw, u play in a band? i just moved to kl recently for work and lloking for a new band here to play wif. my guitar skills going down due to work and i need to start playing consistently again.

better go start with SX, Stagg or Samick!!
