Our Dream Series from Brian Applegate has been extremely popular. It's little wonder since Brian puts together the finest Brazilian Rosewood and custom appointments including extraordinary inlays on the fingerboard and headstock, a custom twisted rosette, abalone top trim, headstock trim and backstrip. And this particular guitar features his new armrest bevel and soundport. On top of all that this one sports insanely figured Sapelle for the bindings, armrest and rosette. All of the colors blend perfectly and make this quite a satisfying beauty, but it also sounds as good as it looks; amazing clarity, shimmering highs, full, warm bass. This is a complete sound from one end of the spectrum to the other. Simply stunning in every way...

Player Reviews:
"It feels like Christmas everytime we open up an Applegate guitar case. This one is just breathtaking. I've never seen Sapele bindings before and it is spectacular. It has even more figure than Koa typically does and a gorgeous rich honey brown hue. It really sets of the bevel and rosette. Brian's construction is impeccable and his inlays are superbly executed. But let's talk tone... This guitar has some of the sweetest, sparkling trebles strings with a foundation of sumptuous, round bass notes. It's extremely clear and articulate but with abundant color and complexity. I really feel this is a very complete sound and that's not easy to do. This is special." - Paul Heumiller
"Another beautifully appointed instrument from Brian Applegate. This guitar features some of the nicest Brazilian Rosewood and Sapele I've seen and it records like a dream :)" - Al Petteway
