SOLD - 2006 Hoffman Guitars Jumbo - Acoustic Guitar

One of the exciting things at this year's Newport Guitar Festival was that we began a relationship with Charlie Hoffman and have an opportunity to offer his fine guitars. Charlie has been building for over 25 years and has influenced many of today's great builders. We hand-selected this beautiful flame Koa Jumbo for it's sparkling voice and incredible beauty. From its bearclaw top to the handmade Koa rosette and purflings, this is one spectacular guitar.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"The short scale makes this guitar very easy to play. The treble strings are very sweet and full and easily heard thanks to the shallow body design. This is an extremely well made guitar showcasing Charlie's experience in the business" - Paul Heumiller

"Even though this is a big guitar, its depth is relatively shallow, giving it a much more focused sound than most jumbos. The mids are dominant and create a clarity that is unusual in this size instrument, but there are still plenty of low and high frequencies to go around. The Koa is striking and the workmanship is excellent all around." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"I've purchased new guitars that were in worse condition than this! Did the original owner ever play it?" - Steve H., UK
