Jason has far exceeded our hopes for our Dream Series with him. He created his gorgeous new armrest bevel for us and added detail after detail to these exceptional instruments. We chose Carpathian Spruce over top of stunning Sapele (African Mahogany), a combination that really works. The pictures and audio below can describe this guitar far better than my words so I invite you to read on. It's a special one.

Player Reviews:
"The reason we do our Dream Series guitars is to inspire builders to do their best work and offer something unique to you our customers. Jason really threw himself into this project and added details beyond our imagination. For some of them you have to look inside where he's laminated braces with Bloodwood carrying the look inside the body. The Sapele used is the best we could find and it's perfectly complimented by Carpathian Spruce which we categorize as a cross between Adirondack and European. It has power and clarity to spare. We are very, very proud of our Dream Series by Jason Simpson." - Paul Heumiller
