Here we have another beautiful Santa Cruz! This OO Skye is in excellent pre-owned condition and sounds amazing. This guitar features an Adirondack Spruce top paired with Cocobolo back & sides, a dream combination.
This guitar has seen light play and shows some small signs of wear with some tiny lacquer dings and scratches. The frets are in excellent condition with minimal wear and it is playing great.
This Santa Cruz is for the player who wants excellent tonality and projection from a small bodied acoustic. Comes with original deluxe hardshell case and Certificate.
"Portland based jazz guitarist Eric Skye was named by 20th Century Guitar Magazine as “one of the best rising stars of the American acoustic jazz scene.” This hardworking instrumentalist has gained a loyal following both as a dramatic and expressive live performer and an in-demand acoustic guitar instructor both in Oregon and in the online music community. He has been featured in magazines such as Acoustic Guitar, Guitar Player, Jazziz and Jazz Improv, and his music can be heard on NPR. To match his distinct personality and playing style, Eric and Richard collectively dreamed up a gorgeous Cocobolo OO with an Adirondack top, unique 24.9 inch scale length for ease of playability, slightly deeper body for added bass and volume, hot hide glue with Adirondack Spruce, scalloped bracing and a distinctive herringbone purfling and ivoroid rosette. This instrument is designed for the excruciatingly accurate and sophisticated techniques of the most demanding jazz fingerstylist."
