2009 DT Guitars De La Rosa - SJ Acoustic Guitar

Once again, David Taylor has delivered a guitar that will make some lucky buyer very happy. Her understated great looks don't quite convey the range of moods and colors you can coax from the German top on this one. Play her softly and she purrs, dig in and she responds in kind. This is a versatile instrument from a wonderful builder. And, at this price, it's one of the better bargains in the shop.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"The De La Rosa is a very popular design from David Taylor. It's an SJ body shape that is well suited to both fingerstyle and strumming. The German top on this one adds clarity and balance. Don't let the simple appointments fool you, this is a lot of guitar..." - Paul Heumiller

"What a nice guitar for fingerstyle and flatpicking. I like the even balance across the frequency spectrum. David is rapidly becoming one of the top builders in this market." - Al Petteway

"Here's a David Taylor with great balance and a full tone that manages to hold onto plenty of shimmer and sparkle. With ample clarity and sustain, this guitar is wonderful for fingerstyle (Celtic anyone?), but it also handles a hard strum and picked singles lines very well. As always, David's designs are elegantly simple. This is a lovely instrument that will make someone happy for years to come." - Al Schlimm

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"Last night I wrote down all 42 solid wood acoustic guitars I have owned since 1982, what I liked and didn't, why I moved on, and any that I missed having. Next to the SJT I wrote one word: perfect. They will bury me with this one. It's not a guitar, it's a piano." - Satisfied Customer
