For his 30th anniversary of building Kent Everett pulled out all the stops. He built just 3 anniversary guitars and this one especially for us here at Dream Guitars. We hand picked the amazing Madagascar Rosewood and paired it with a Bearclaw top. The rest is all Kent, he worked with marquetry artist Cristina Alvarez Magliano to create breathtaking Azalea inlays out of wood to match our 'Azalea Drive' address. He created the first ever guitar we've seen with 14k gold top & back borders. There is also an armrest bevel and a side soundport. But he did not forget about tone, this guitar has a huge voice, with pure energy that pushes straight out then fills the room with joyous music. Every note beautiful and complex. This guitar is elegant and artistic in every way! Thank you Kent.

Player Reviews:
"I had to sit down when I opened the case on this beauty. Kent builds only a handful of guitars each year and approaches each as an individual work of art. That is very apparent in this a celebration of his 30th anniversary of building. From the impeccable woods to the gold purfling and his collaboration with marquetry artist Cristina Alvarez Magliano, this guitar is breathtaking from head to toe.
When I did catch my breath and begin to play I was gone... The sound of this J body can only be described as magical. The kind of fullness and beauty of tone that takes you to another place. So whether your eyes are open staring at it, or closed because you are deep in play, there is something here for you heart, mind and soul. We are honored to present this Everett guitar!" - Paul Heumiller
