I found this to also be true. I haven't owned either, but I've played a couple P12s and 00 Skyes. I love Eric's playing and his tone, but I found the 00 Skye to be almost tight, for lack of a better word. I felt like I couldn't "pull" the resonance out of it.
The P12 was so different, it was almost too much resonance for me. I thought it was a big, round, warm sound... gorgeous tone. Obviously, what I prefer falls in between those two. I like a blend of resonance and clear, fundamental sound. I found those two guitars very different, but both were beautifully constructed instruments. I've never played a bad Froggy or Santa Cruz, but I didn't take either of these home with me. That is nothing but personal preference though. Both companies are superb builders.
