  • Comments: "I think these are among my favorite Dream Series guitars. They are lightly built and play so easily. You just can't find a better instrument. " - Al Petteway

    "Bruce Sexauer approaches his art a bit differently. He's all about tone and playability. So for you players, that is a great thing. The minute you pick up this guitar you feel as though it was made for you. Bruce's neck profile is one of our favorites, it just seems to melt into your hand. One touch of the Rodgers tuners makes you wonder what's wrong with other tuners, why can't they all be this smooth and accurate and look this beautiful. They are true works of art and help complete this very special guitar. The Brazilian is old and superbly quartered and the German spruce is of the highest quality with abundant medullary rays that explain the wonderous tone. Sure, this a Dream Series, and yes we are a little prejudice, but I would put this guitar up against anything on the planet and would happily watch as you become amazed at how good a guitar can be. This is what custom guitars are all about...." - Paul Heumiller
