SOLD - 2006 Applegate Guitars SJ Dream #1 - Acoustic Guitar

We felt like kids in a candy store opening the case on this one for the first time. We were immediately struck by the unique and beautiful Abalone appointments of this guitar. From the twisted-band Rosette to the bordered headstock, this is an elegant masterpiece. Crafted from "old growth" Brazilian Rosewood and Red Cedar and bound with rare Snakewood throughout. The beauty of the woods provide the perfect backdrop for the inlays and appointments. The character of this particular set of Brazilian really makes itself known in the deep warm voice and sustain of this guitar. The Series also debuts Brian's new soundport.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Working with Brian on this series, I knew he would come up with something very special. We gave Brian some creative license and the result was something beyond our expectations. We think you'll be equally impressed with just one look at the twisted band within the Rosette and back-strip. The addition of the side sound port lets the player enjoy the same full sound as those in the front row. It's a good thing ... because youâ€™ll want to hear all of this one." - Paul Heumiller

"This is the cream of the crop for fingerstyle guitars. One of Jim Olson's best proteges, Brian Applegate has created a masterpiece." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"Dream Guitars customer service has been excellent. You will be highly recommended by me. Perhaps there will come a day when I find I have that dreadful GAS [Guitar Acquisition Syndrome] disease thing I read about. If so I will certainly be in touch." - Kathy H.
