SOLD - 2006 NKForster Guitars J - Acoustic Guitar

Nigel brought this to us during a recent visit from New Castle, England. He continues to expand on his long history at Sobell guitars and here he's made us a thunderous Jumbo guitar. For bass response 'wider is better' and this has a big bottom end. Crafted from Rosewood and Italian spruce with Nigel's Macaferri inspired cutaway and understated appointments. Nigel specifically built this for playing in DADGAD and low tunings. If you are seeking a big, but balance sound, here you go...

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"It's exciting to see a builder who keeps pushing his craft. This J is amazing for low tunings and offers the player true low end with equal clarity and separation. A bold, new voice...." - Paul Heumiller

"This guitar was designed especially for DADGAD players or players that like staying in Dropped tunings most of the time. It has a bigger body to accommodate the lower notes and a longer scale to keep the string tension feeling good. He's managed to control the lower frequencies by keeping the body depth more standard instead of making it relative to the width and length. I really enjoyed playing this guitar and the experience was made even better by being one of the first to play it. Nigel hand delivered it to the shop and I was lucky enough to be there. What a treat." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"Suffice it to say I'm very pleased with my new guitar and thank you so much for your help in finding her! All my guitarist friends know all about your site from my urging. The only down side to this whole deal was that you didn't include an Al Petteway CD in the case pocket, (what a player he is). Thanks so much Paul and Joe." - Scott W.
