We've been hoping to work with Robert for several years now and it finally came together. He's now making a limited edition Dream Series for us and this guitar is the very first. Robert is well known for his guitars and also for those he builds for Schoenberg, they are light and responsive with a pre-war energy and voice. This first Dream Series is based on Robert's 04C body shape which is a 000 size so it has a strong, vibrant voice and quick response. It's crafted from top notch Brazilian Rosewood with very tight grain and a beautiful, gentle wave. The top is very special Sitka Spruce sawn from hand-split billets cut from salvaged ocean pilings and air-dried 30 years. This top is superb and sets this guitar apart with it's strong, clear voice that is sophisticated and complex, yet pure of note. Flamed Koa bindings and a custom Spalted English Maple Rosette complete the understated beauty, but it's the tone that makes this one magical...

Player Reviews:
"I could not be happier with this guitar. Brazilian and Sitka is one of my personal favorite combinations and here we have some of the very finest examples of each of these tonewoods. The Brazilian is outstanding, with super tight grain and just enough wave to make it interesting and seductive. The top is something very special... Sitka Spruce hand cut from salvaged Ocean pilings and air dried for over 30 years. This is not your average top and you can hear it in the voice, it's very strong and clear with tremendous projection already, this one is sure to be a cannon. This top has a gorgeous deep patina as well and Robert created a stunning Spalted English Maple rosette to set it off. This is an extremely balanced guitar and could easily satisfy me for a lifetime of music. We are very proud of this Dream Series from Robert Anderson." - Paul Heumiller
"This is the first Robert Anderson guitar I've played and I must say I'm very impressed. The sound is perfect for fingerstyle with a nice focused midrange." - Al Petteway
