Click on any photo below to enlarge
Bruce Sexauer is known for tone. His guitars have an unmistakable energy and liveness that is very reminiscent of prewar guitars. He is also one of the few builders we've invited to make a Dream Series for us and it is a truly special design. Based on his Sexauer JB-15, this is a Fan Fret 000 14 fret body that is asymmetrical and crafted from the finest old Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce. The finish is a very thin varnish that insures all the tone comes out. It includes snakewood bindings, handmade Rogers Tuners and a Calton case to keep this treasure safe.

Player Reviews:
"Sexauer guitars are simply some of the best, most responsive guitars being made today. Bruce builds for tone first and foremost and he gets it. This Dream Series, like all our Dream Series, has the best of everything and it makes for a voice beyond compare. Just listen to how full the treble strings are. Rogers Tuners, handmade in England, premium Brazilian and Master Grade German puts this one in a class by itself." - Paul Heumiller
"Bruce Sexauer makes incredibly well-balanced guitars that seem to be alive in your hands. The slant fret design of this one makes it particularly good for folks who tune the sixth down. The neck and body join at the 13th fret putting the bridge right in the "sweet spot" of the top." - Al Petteway
