The DOLPHIN SKY was the first ever Sky Guitar! Built in the Spring of 1983 by Andy Demetriou, it became the original prototype for all Sky Guitars ever built. At the time, there was no other guitar like it in the whole world and it was truly revolutionary. This was the first ever guitar with over 30 frets, effectively extending the range of the electric guitar by almost an octave! It also featured a pick-up under the neck to preserve the warm tone which only a neck pick-up can provide.
