Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Co-designed with acoustic virtuoso Eric Skye, the Santa Cruz 00-Skye is a custom 12-fret small-bodied instrument engineered specifically for fingerstyle precision, ergonomic comfort, and rich tonal depth. Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top supported by hot hide glue-installed Adirondack braces and paired with a highly resonant Cocobolo back and sides, its deeper body construction enhances bass response and internal air volume without sacrificing intimate playability. It features a matte-finished V-profile mahogany neck with a slotted peghead, a wide 1-13/16" nut, a 24.9" short scale length, and an elegant SCGC logo inlay at the 14th fret. Elegantly appointed with ivoroid binding, herringbone purfling, nickel Waverly tuners with ivoroid buttons, a zipper back stripe, and a tortoise pickguard, it comes complete with a deluxe hardshell case.

From Santa Cruz Guitars

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. To match his distinct personality and playing style, Eric and Richard collectively dreamed up a gorgeous Cocobolo OO with an Adirondack top.

Features include a 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.
