I felt compelled to update you on my Sinker Redwood/African Blackwood Crescendo (Al Petteway Signature model). I have been playing it exclusively for 3 months now. I started out in DADGAD and then switched to Standard tuning.
At this point I still find myself amazed at this instrument. After a couple weeks in Standard, it really started to open up. At times it sounds like I am playing with amplification–the projection is almost startling. Yet even with that projection, the tonal quality persists–there is absolutely no hint of breaking up–and I can get pretty heavy-fingered at times.
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.
I live close by so I have to be extra careful ’cause all I need is just one more
