A one-of-a-kind instrument specially built for Dream Guitars. We gave Bill Wise license to use the absolute finest materials and collaborated on appointments that would allow the natural beauty of the woods to shine through. Brazilian Rosewood and Red Cedar that is. It is a gross understatement to say that we are thrilled with the results. This guitar is spectacular, the luscious voice and sweet overtones of Bill's guitars are taken to new heights on this series. And the unique Makore wood trim gives it character. The pictures describe the beauty much more eloquently then we could so we invite you to behold the Charis Dream Series. This is a rare preowned Charis Dream, #2 of 10 ever made.

Player Reviews:
"Bill Wise is a wonderful builder and his Charis Dream Series incorporates the best of everything. The materials are top notch, featuring the very best old Brazilian Rosewood and a rich Cedar top. Florentine cutaway makes for easy access up high. The construction is wonderful throughout, but it's the magical tone you'll love. " - Paul Heumiller
