New Beneteau Baritone Custom Fan Fret Padauk/Sitka
Marc Beneteau is known for his great baritone guitars with players like Don Ross and Dream Guitars owner Paul Heumiller playing them. They have amazing power, clarity and tons of tone. In fact Paul Heumiller provided the specs for this custom Baritone from Marc based on many he has played and enjoyed. First there is very rare Andaman Padauk for the body which always produces a clarity and presence that is sublime for the low baritone register. For the top Paul requested master grade Sitka for it’s power and overtones, this top is especially tight grained and silky. For versatility we made it a multiscale with a 28″ scale on the bass and 27″ on the treble. This setup allows for movement between many tunings and keeps the bass low and big while maintaining sweet and easy to play treble strings. To make it complete Paul added front and back BEVELS so it’s very comfortable and lovely touches such as the bound fingerboard with extension and the custom Spalted Elm Rosette. This is what we call a Baritone, an incredible Baritone!

Mark Blanchard went above and beyond the call of duty, way beyond. Our latest Blanchard Dream Series, number four, is the complete fingerstyle package. Mark’s Sequoia body with its generous 16” lower bout for bass and projection, a body wedge for player comfort (not to mention the Laskin-style arm bevel), multiscale fretboard (26.25-25.25”), EVO frets, soundport, cutaway—every feature you need for an effortless playing experience, no matter what crazy tuning.
Top shelf Brazilian Rosewood from our personal DG stash for the back and sides, and it’s paired with a creamy European Spruce top and Honduran Mahogany neck. We love just how easily this guitar plays from nut to saddle. The multiscale board allowed us to dip down into C territory without getting splashy, and it didn’t matter if we were plucking with fingers or picks: the voice was present, expansive, and enveloping. If there’s a flub note hidden in this Blanchard Dream Series, we haven’t found it yet, but we’ll keep playing just in case. For science. We’ll do other things around the office too.

We love, love, love working with our builders to pull off custom builds like this powerhouse 2021 G.6CA from Bryan Galloup. We picked out a fantastically straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood set for the back and sides, which was then paired with Italian Spruce for smoothness and sustain to match the power and dynamic response. A multiscale setup of 26 inches at the bass to 25 at the treble adds a touch of sweetness to the high-end as well. Moreover, this beauty has an arm bevel and a smoothly curving venetian cutaway for added creature comforts.

When Leo Buendia pushes himself, the results are humbling.

If Paul Heumiller commissions a build for himself, you know the luthier has some serious chops. This Buendia Jumbo is proof of Leo’s talent. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, french polished Adirondack Spruce top (from Randy Lucas himself), green-dyed Maple Burl rosette–this is just the start. The neck is carved from Indian Rosewood, and has a 12-fret neck join to marry warmth to Leo’s Jumbo body. Of course Paul also requested a multiscale fretboard (26.25″ to 25.5″) and a Florentine Cutaway to keep all those slant frets accessible. The bass response is expansive, but crisply defined. That clarity pairs well with a smooth upper register, and an articulate midrange for fingerstyle heaven.
Leo Buendia’s guitars are inspiration carved from wood and steel. Of instruments of this calibre, there are but a few. This one has come up for sale, and we can’t recommend it highly enough!

We here at Dream Guitars love baritones, the power and presence that comes with these builds always shakes us out of music ruts and inspires new and exciting tunes. So much so that Paul’s taken this one for himself! If you are interested in acquiring one yourself, don’t hesitate to ask. We love working with our clients and our builders to commission the bespoke guitar of your dreams.

Dream Guitars is proud to announce our latest partnership! This time with Kevin Caton of Caton Guitars. And to celebrate the occasion, we commissioned his Sullivan model with a multiscale fretboard, Madagascar Rosewood, Italian Spruce, and Kevin’s innovative “Bevel Port” in the upper bout. And to boot, a Ryan-style arm bevel on top. The rosette and segmented back strip come in a custom design of Ebony, Bloodwood, and Buckeye Burl.
With a 3/4” spread, the multiscale fingerboard allows for added sonority and intonation while maintaining a natural and familiar play feel in the left hand; we found this Caton Sullivan takes to Open G particularly sweetly. Thus, this is a fantastic guitar for the fingerstylist who wants to dip into alternate tuning territory, but which holds up well under a flatpick in Standard as well. This is the first guitar we’ve taken on from Kevin, and we’re already impressed.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, kevin caton guitars, finger style, fingerpicking, dadgad, fan fret, fanned fret, multi scale, tkl, gotoh

Glass action beautiful. Tom Doerr had a delicate hand for crafting resonant, responsive modern flattops; just look at the fit and finish on this 2018 Trinity Select for proof of that. Flawless, with an exquisite attention to detail, executed in a high gloss finish to really make this one pop. Amazon Rosewood back and sides pair up with Swiss Moonspruce on top, plus an arm bevel and florentine cutaway for creature comforts. A 25-26” multiscale fretboard makes for easy playability and a wide dynamic range, both in standard as well as altered tunings. The voice is equal parts crisp and strong, especially for a smaller bodied instrument. Part of that is of course Tom’s skill in voicing the top to be extra responsive, and the other part being that multiscale setup for a bit more punch in the bass register. All in all, this 2018 Doerr Trinity Select is a shining example of Tom’s legacy to the world of lutherie and fingerstyle guitars.

This beauty from 2016 is an every-note-counts kind of guitar. Tom Doerr’s such an accomplished builder, we love to spend time with any of his builds. Here’s a beautiful example of his upgraded Signature Series in the Legacy Select body (small jumbo for power, drive, and responsiveness in equal measure)—decked out with a striking set of Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides and Adirondack Spruce on top. Ebony bindings tie them together, plus a svelte Ryan-style arm bevel for creature comforts.
And then there’s the multiscale setup. 26 inches at the bass to 25 at the trebles makes a great player for C tunings and right on up to Standard—it’s a fingerstyle masterpiece.Other keywords: luthier, lutherie, guitarbuilding, doerr guitars, fingerpicking, modern guitar, gotoh, fan fret, fanned fret, multi scale, multi-scale

Now here’s a guitar that does. it. all. We’re big fans of multiscale instruments for all the reasons: better intonation and string tension across a wide range of tunings, easy playability for the left hand, and it looks so darn cool. Tom Doerr does it right, too. This is a Solace Select from 2012 that boasts a 27-25.25” multiscale fretboard! Sky’s the limit for tuning territory. The body is African Blackwood and Sitka Spruce—and Tom confided in us that this was the finest set of Blackwood he’s ever worked with. And we can see why: we’ve never seen ABW with such dramatic birdseye figure!
The tone is just incredible. Powerful, invigorating, room-filling. The bass register is huge, and with the 25.25” top end the trebles and mids strike a sweet balance between warmth and crispness. This Doerr works like magic in such a wide range of settings, we really think this Solact Select is a powerhouse all-around guitar.Other keywords: luthier, lutherie, guitarbuilding, doerr guitars, fingerstyle, fingerpicking, modern guitar, gotoh

Tom Doerr, we adore your work. This 2016 Solace Select is what modern lutherie is all about: agile, responsive, voiced with crisp definition and a dynamic, colorful palette. Add to that fantastic tonewoods and playability and intonation innovations, and it’s a dream machine, baby. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Spruce on top—multiscale fretboard at 26 to 25 1/8 inches—arm bevel plus beveled bindings all around.
Everything you throw at this Doerr Solace Select, it eats right up. We especially loved taking this one down in CGCGAD, where the added bass tension of the multiscale setup made this tuning absolutely sing.Other keywords: luthier, lutherie, guitarbuilding, doerr guitars, fingerstyle, fingerpicking, modern guitar, gotoh
