New Dake Traphagen Guitars MDRS - 00 Acoustic Guitar

Breathtaking tone! We all melted for this guitar. Dake Traphagen has long been one of our very favorite builders of classical guitars, and we are delighted to now offer his Steel Strings. You simply will not believe the response and articulation of this guitar. Clearly, Dakes 30 years of building experience make him unusually gifted to create musical instruments of the highest caliber. This 00 guitar crafted from stunning Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack puts forth treble strings to die for, dense and weighty but always clear and sustaining. The bass is round and full and perfectly in balanced. This is a guitar for the player seeking perfect tone and playability in a strong small body design. We will enjoy this one while it's here!

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Wow.... I'm almost made speechless by this guitar. I played it for two hours the first time I touched it. It's mesmerizing to me, so musical, so complete in every register. This is a 00 guitar that has beauty in it's voice as well as power. It far surpasses the 00s we all know and love. If you desire a small guitar that is darn near perfect in every way, look closely at this one. " - Paul Heumiller

"I'm a huge fan of Dake's classical guitars and now with this little steel string, I'm a huge fan of his steel strings as well. The sound is big and balanced with just the right punch. Perfect." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"Upon opening the case I was overwhelmed by its beauty. You certainly live up to your name. Thank you again." - Jerry G.
