Here we have an absolutely stunning Dream Series guitar from our friend, Brian Applegate. Brian has truly arrived as a world class luthier and this is a wonderful example of his highly refined sensibilities. This particular set of Brazilian Rosewood and Euro-Spruce have combined to produce a guitar that is stunningly lively and open.
