Dream Guitars® was started by Paul Heumiller and fingerstyle guitarist extraordinaire Martin Simpson.

Players Say: "Great instruments abound at Dream Guitars, each one exquisite with its own personality and soulfulness."
If you are part of the 11 Step Guitar Recovery program (one more guitar and you’ll be cured), then you will literally be in a waking dream when you visit Paul’s shop.
I have bought and sold guitars (and banjos) with Paul and I really appreciate his team’s honesty and knowledge.
