For our limited edition Dream Series from Charlie Hoffman we asked him to refine this Concert body shape to give it more elegant curves.

Player Reviews:
""This guitar is amazingly alive already and it's brand new. The old growth Brazilian Rosewood adds a very identifiable warmth and richness to the voice of this guitar. It's paired with premium European Spruce for a voice that has equal amounts power, sparkle and lush body. We are thrilled with the new body shape Charlie created for us, I really love the way it changes the cutaway curves. This body size is perfect for balance fingerstyle play and also strums very well. If you've longed for a top notch OM that can do it all, this is the ticket...." - Paul Heumiller" - Paul Heumiller
"This is another beautiful "Dream" guitar from Charles Hoffman. His attention to detail is beyond reproach and the bevel is super comfortable. His first "Dream" guitar was featured on the CD that I recorded for Dream Guitars and this one is every bit as nice with a gorgeous voice." - Al Petteway
