In Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s 20th Anniversary issue there’s a list of 20 Years of Essential Acoustic Albums and our good friend Al Petteway got two mentions and our Dream Guitars’ 2008 collaboration with Tony McManus received one.
Quotes from the article:
1997 – Al Petteway, Caledon Wood
“Anchored in Celtic music with African and South American influences,
these original pieces and traditional arrangements show why
Petteway is one of today’s most respected fingerstyle players.” (Maggie’s Music)
2004 – Various artists, Henry Mancini: Pink Guitar
Laurence Juber, Ed Gerhard, Doug Smith, Al Petteway,
and other fingerstyle luminaries arranged the songs of Henry Mancini
and became Grammy winners in the process. (Solid Air)
2008 – Tony McManus, The Maker’s Mark: The Dream Guitar Sessions
When you put 15 different custom guitars, from Jeff Traugott, Kathy Wingert, Michael Greenfield,
and others, in the hands of one immensly talented guitarist, you end up with
a classic record that’s a testament to custom lutherie. (Compass)

Players Say: "Dream Guitars is a fantastic place! I’ve never been to a shop that had so many exquisite instruments available. It’s so important to know all of your options when it’s time to purchase a high-end instrument. The staff is friendly to work with, and their insight about the inventory is extensive. This is one of the best places in the country to buy a guitar. The repair services are fantastic as well. I’ve had electronics installed on high-end instruments and minor tweaks made as well; each service made the instruments even better."
