Santa Cruz 00 Eric Skye Cocobolo Adirondack One-Off (2024)

Acoustic guitarist Eric Skye from the Pacific Northwest of the USA occupies a unique musical niche between Folk, Jazz, and Blues, between fingerstyle and flatpicking and between composition and improvisation. Santa Cruz has dedicated a signature guitar to him, which is already more than impressive in terms of sound, feel, and appearance in the regular small-batch production. But the 00 Eric Skye, which we are delighted to offer you today, goes even further as a one-off with some additional treats. The formidable wood selection alone would be enough to make this acoustic guitar an absolute “must-have”: the powerful Adirondack top is combined here with a back and sides made of truly exceptionally beautiful cocobolo, which immediately catches the eye with its exclusive grain. Furthermore, a “flamed maple” binding has been used, which further enhances the exclusivity factor. The finishing touch is provided by elegant “snowflake” inlays on the deep dark ebony fingerboard as position markers. And what the look promises, the sound of this little wonder of sound more than delivers. It's truly incredible what can come out of such a small body. Eric Skye is known for his unique, extremely virtuosic fingerpicking style and this guitar is made precisely for that. Compact, assertive, but always incredibly warm and pleasant — that's how the fabulous sound can be summed up. Even electric guitarists will feel right at home with the light V-profile of the mahogany neck and after the first few notes, you won't want to put it down. Not only fingerpicking, but also strumming comes out of the sound hole in the best studio quality. So if you want the very best playability combined with a huge sound and an exclusive look, don't think twice. The guitar comes to you in mint condition.
