The Eric Skye model's size (it's slightly deeper than standard), tonewoods, scale length, and Richard Hoover's consummate attention to detail have helped create one of Santa Cruz's most successful signature models.

Over the years, we've developed a real fondness for the Santa Cruz Eric Skye Model. The modified 00 size (it's slightly deeper than standard), the tone woods, the scale length and Richard Hoover's consummate attention to detail have helped to create one of their most successful signature models. Of course, it helps that Eric is such a versatile and sensitive player. What else could one expect when two great talents put their creative heads together?

This guitar is the standard incantation of the Skye model, with beautiful Cocobolo back & sides, an Adirondack Spruce top, and wide fingerboard & string spacing. The sound is lush, complex, and detailed all at once, with more than enough low end for delicate flatpicking where extra punch is required. Priced with hardshell case!
