The third in the Dream Series from Bill and we are astounded at his consistency and quality. This guitar proves that Bill is a master builder who achieves his voice in every instrument he makes. That's a sign of a great builder to us. The set of Brazilian Rosewood on this guitar is magnificent. It's very tight grained and has a dramatic theme in the center of the back.

Player Reviews:
"These guitars are not only beautiful, but inspiring as well. The Charis Dream Series reminds me of some of the better Olson guitars I've played and at this price, you won't find an Olson like this. This guitar has a somewhat pronounced midrange response without sacrificing bass or treble detail making it a perfect recording guitar. The use of a five-piece neck makes it possible to go rapidly into altered tunings without the change in tension affecting the neck." - Al Petteway
