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.Read the awesome specs and look at this heirloom!Other specifications include:Body Wood Type CocoboloBack Stripe ZipperBinding Ivoroid w/ side purfles12 Fret, Deeper BodyTop Wood Type Adirondack Top with Adirondack braces attached with Hot Hide GlueRosette IvoroidPurfling HerringboneBracing/Voicing ScallopedNeck Peghead SlottedPeghead Binding Ivoroid/Black/IvoroidOverlay Material CocoboloHeadstock Inlay NoneWidth at Nut 1-13/16″Neck Shape VFingerboard Side Dots Black – an extra dot at the 19th fretInlay SCGC Logo at the 14th FretWidth at 12th Fret 2 1/4″Binding Ivoroid/Black/IvoroidScale Length 24.9″Finish Top ClearBack & Sides Clear/BuffedNeck Clear/MattePickguard TortoiseTuners/gears Nickel Waverlys w/Ivoroid ButtonsHard case4 lb 2 oz#1263For more information about the Santa Cruz 00 Skye, please contact us.
