I just got the one that got away!!

Hi folks!

Back in January 2017, I was in a shop in Dublin who had just taken in a practically new Santa Cruz 00 Skye. I had never played a Santa Cruz guitar and that particular guitar blew my socks off. I fell in love with it. I was just after buying a house and I didn’t think it wise to spend that much on a guitar so I left empty handed. A few days passed and I had that “it’s later than you think” epiphany so I called the store to buy it but it was sold. I took note of the serial number.

A couple of years later, I made the trip to see a beautiful used 00 Skye in northern Ireland. It was stunning too with a highly figured set of coco but it had a small crack that just made me uncomfortable. Again, I left empty handed.

Early last year, I found a Don Edwards 00 online at a good price and started a thread here which was most helpful and I pulled the trigger. A beautiful guitar for sure but it didn’t scratch the itch. This week, the original 00 Skye I fell in love with came up for sale in the the Netherlands and I think you know what happened next! I did have to trade the DE to make it happen which is safe but I’ll get over it when my Skye arrives I’m sure! I did lose some money but it was worth it to own the gorgeous little mahogany 00 for a year!

I have to send the DE over before they’ll ship the Skye to me so it will be a little while before I have it in my hands but hey, what’s another week or so after waiting 5 years!

I am beyond excited!
