2008 Beauregard MB Flamed Maple/Spruce
Let the good times roll! With an MB like this one from Mr. Beauregard in your hands, the world becomes a much more exciting place. Featuring gorgeous Flamed Maple for the back, sides, and neck, and a Spruce top, this MB’s voice has generous warmth, and excellent responsiveness. Observe how Mario completely carves the Maple sides, and backs the F-holes with black-dyed Maple baffles to moderate the air flow, reduce feedback, and maximize the MB’s warm Jazz Box tone–yielding a svelte, attractive design.
The contours are delectably smooth, and feel perfectly natural while playing–this is a guitar which fits securely in your arms, with an excellent balance that keeps it easily and comfortably in optimal playing position, thanks to its lightweight construction. The trebles are particularly quick and responsive with the single Humbucker pickup, and man! to hear this baby with an Overdrive pedal. Be it Jazz or Rock or something else entirely, you’ve got an extra ace up your sleeve with this 2008 Beauregard MB in your hands.

At Dream Guitars, we often have players visit of such calibre that we’re struck dumb when they take a guitar down to play. Not nearly as often are we reduced to silence simply at the sight of a guitar–but this 2008 Beauregard MB is just such an instrument. Whoa! Beauregard has outfitted this beauty with two powerhouse P90 pickups which can scream for Blues while at the same time remaining fat and warm for Jazz. Versatile, in a word. This is as dynamic as they come, with a glossy finish that is feather-smooth to the touch. With arcing curves like a drop of water sliding along the face of a wineglass, this Beauregard MB in Maple and Spruce might be the most beautiful Semi-Hollow or Archtop guitar we’ve seen. Its previous owner has been incredibly careful, too: this is a gem with no discernible marks to mar the surface of the Spruce or the Ebony bridge and tailpiece.

Our own Paul Heumiller said, “Dreaming on a guitar like this is easy.” What more is there to say? Gorgeous aesthetic, powerful sound and a fit and finish that screams pristine. This instrument is powerful and inspirational. Dressed in African Padauk and Western Red Cedar, this ain’t your grandpa’s archtop, but it sounds like it would have been. It’s no coincidence this instrument has been dubbed “Big Bang.” That is as much of a descriptor as it is a title, both unplugged and amplified it’s resonance is prominent. From the carbon fiber bracing, to its custom humbucker this guitar seems to have neverending features that draw the player in. Listen and see for yourself.

Man oh man, this is a fun one. We’re talking about a virtually all-original 1958 Gibson ES-175 (right down to the curlicue pickguard) with the original Gibson Lifton case, PAF pickup, tuners, bridge—on and on. We’ve gone over this one with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is in order, and we’re very happy to say this one is on the up and up! It plays like butter with a chunky C neck, and the PAF screams when you dig in, and purrs when you don’t. More mojo than you can shake a pick at! It’s in amazing condition to boot (but please, keep those boots away from this vintage ES-175).
This is the kind of Gibson history you want to keep close at hand, at all times.SOLD Read moreScale Length 24.625 in Nut Width 1.72 in String Spacing 2 in Woods Mahogany, Mahogany Add to Compare1995 Gibson ES-335 DOT Figured Maple/Flamed Maple
