Once again, Chris Bozung out-Gibsons Gibson with this beautiful slope-shouldered dread. Play it softly and its quilted mahogany and Adirondack Red Spruce sound as warm and toasty as its vintage shaded finish. Strum it hard and it's 1965 and you're a young John Lennon banging it out on the set of "Help." Players with a light touch will hear their sound bloom in a new way, those with heavy touch will love how this one can take a punch and stay on its feet.

Player Reviews:
"I personally own a Bozung Dream Series Vintage J and it's one of my very favorite guitars to play. Chris builds a solid guitar with power and tone and knows how to capture tradition within the wood." - Paul Heumiller
"If you are looking for the vibe of an old J-45 Gibson but with modern workmanship, this may be your guitar. It's loud and has that perfect balance for rhythm playing." - Al Petteway
"This guy is big, warm, and lush. Its mids are thick without ever sounding wooly. Its trebles are unusually robust. Chords respond beautifully and without a hint of harshness. Single notes sound rich and full up and down the neck. I'll be keeping a good eye on this one for you! " - Al Schlimm
