SOLD. Selling One Of My Personal Santa Cruz 00-Skye Model Guitars

[min7b5]

Hey AGF friends,

Eric here, and I’m selling one my own personal signature model guitars from the Santa Cruz Guitar Company. This one is a custom variation, that is basically an 18-style, compared to the original recipe which I think of as more of a 28-style guitar. I’m linking a rather long-winded unlisted Youtube video just below here where I go into great detail about the guitar and play a few things as well. And yes, I do now realize after the fact that I cut my head off in the talking head parts of the video -still working on my video production skills

In a nut shell, the key differences from the standard 00-Skye model are:

1) Old growth mahogany backs and sides instead of cocobolo
2) Mahogany binding instead of Ivoroid, and 18-style purfle replaces the herringbone
3) Brazilian peghead overlay instead of cocobolo
4) The nut and bridge spacing are 1-3/4 and 2-5/16 respectively, instead of 1 13/16 and 2 1/4


All other 00-Skye model specs can be found here https://santacruzguitar.com/ooskye

It’s a gorgeous looking, sounding, playing, and even smelling guitar that is dead mint/as new. I’m embarrassed to say I really haven’t played it almost at all. I love it, and can’t stop looking at it.. But I frankly I need the money right now. And as some may know, I really only play one guitar. I have another as backup and for air travel.. But honestly having more guitars in the house is too much form my tiny ADD brain, I prefer just one.

The woods on this guitar are just beyond. Richard and I are old friends, and I don’t want to say there was any special treatment here or anything, but he clearly seems to have dug very deep into the stash for this stuff. I feel a little guilty, but he does know I’m selling it.


*As I post this I'm seeing the photos look a little low rez, could be my web host.. I'll looking into that. If anyone wants larger high-res photos, or has any other questions at all, my email is [email protected]

wow, Eric, this is a special opportunity... If it were the standard 1-13/16" nut width spec (and I had another say 6k lying around), I'd be flying this one home

Good luck with this sale!

Wow! If I didn't play, I think I would be happy just to look at this one! (And smell it )

[Guitars44me]

Eric, you may have cut off your head, but your guitar sounds spectacular! My goodness it sounds really really good…

Of course, I am aware that you can probably make a cardboard ukulele sound pretty darn good. But not like this!

Best on your sale and be well,

Paul

That is one fantastic sounding 00! GLWS!

I can't help but fanboy. Eric, A Different Kind of Blue is my favorite acoustic album, ever. Wow. Thank you for being willing to take on that amazing project.

I played a cocobolo SCGC Skye 00-12 at a shop and was totally blown away. I'm a hobbyist and, inspired, I've been playing a very nice 00-12 as my only acoustic for the past four years and it truly does all the things. Good luck on the sale.

I controlled myself and waited a day before posting this. I can't believe the AGF has let this one sit even this long.

If you don't know the joy of a well-made 00-12, there's always room for one more in the club.

congrats on the sale and thank you for sharing your awesome playing in the video. I'm feeling a bit less defensive about anchoring my pinky (it seems to have a mind of it's own at times !)

I feel incredibly fortunate to be purchasing this guitar from Eric! I can't wait to play it. Now I have a 2021 standard 00-Skye that I need to sell -- excellent to near mint. I'll post an ad soon, but feel free to contact me if you are interested. Thinking $6700.

I couldn't see a price on this one listed. Now I read it is sold.. Shouldn't this listing be marked SOLD?
