Jazz guitarist Eric Skye from Portland was named by 20th Century Guitar Magazine as one of the best rising stars of the American acoustic jazz scene. This hardworking instrumentalist has built a loyal following as a dramatic and expressive live performer and as a sought-after 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 distinctive personality and playing style, Eric and Richard jointly designed a beautiful Cocobolo 00 with an Adirondack top.

This 2019 Santa Cruz is in excellent condition. There are signs of wear and a few dings on the top, and in the finish of the back and sides, there are several imperfections in the lacquer at various points. These spots are located beneath the lacquer and are possibly the result of the high oil content in Cocobolo. Otherwise, the guitar looks very neat and will undoubtedly provide you with a lot of playing pleasure!

The guitar comes with a TFOA passport in an Ameritage case.
