The OO Eric Skye Santa Cruz features a Cocobolo body and an Adirondack spruce top. Furthermore, the guitar has a 24.9-inch scale neck for playability, a slightly deeper body for extra bass and volume, hot hide glue with Adirondack spruce scalloped bracing, and stylish herringbone purfling and ivoroid bindings. This instrument is designed for the extremely precise and refined techniques of the most demanding jazz fingerstyler!

 

Jazz guitarist Eric Skye from Portland was named by 20th Century Guitar Magazine as "one of the best rising stars of the American acoustic jazz scene." This hardworking instrumentalist has built a loyal following as a dramatic and expressive live performer and as a sought-after 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 jointly designed a beautiful Cocobolo 00 with an Adirondack top.

 

This 2022 left-handed Santa Cruz Eric Skye has a small ding on the treble side of the top on the upper bout, along with some light signs of wear in the form of glossy lacquer on the back of the neck, as well as a few very small scratches on the top of the headstock. Otherwise, the guitar looks exceptionally clean and comes with a TFOA passport in an Ameritage case.
