This is one of my favorite parts of the business: working directly with our builders to come up with an exciting instrument just for Dream Guitars! Stuart Day recently joined our ranks, and to commemorate the occasion I had a chat with Stuart about life & lutherie, which you can find here: https://www.dreamguitars.com/welcome-aboard-stuart-day-newest-builder-joins-dream-team/. Stuart’s busy building us our first Day OM, which will feature some of his latest design features. I’ll keep you all posted as the SD1-VC build progresses, see below for specs.

Players Say: "Visiting Dream Guitars it’s a unique experience."
I’ve never seen so many beautiful and great sounding guitars in one place. Paul and his staff are very enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about the many instruments that are on display.
If you are in Weaverville, North Carolina don’t miss the opportunity to visit them…is truly worth it.
