One of our prodigal Dream Series sons has returned! A 2009 Kathy Wingert EVC (number nine of ten made exclusively for Dream Guitars according to Paul Heumiller’s specs) in flawless, chocolate-rich Brazilian Rosewood and Italian Spruce, this guitar is teeming with energy, begging to be played. The lightly-voiced Italian Spruce top is instantly responsive to even the lightest touch, eliciting a fundamentally tone which is complex and resounding.

Ideal for fingerstylists looking for an enormous voice and a glass-smooth, low action setup, this EVC Dream Series offers a middle register with great presence that blends smoothly into the resounding depths of the bass strings and complements a panoply of caramel-sweet overtones in the trebles. Further, Kathy has adorned this EVC with a svelte arm bevel for playing comfort and Venetian Cutaway for ease of access, striking quite the figure with its glowing Abalone-rosette-and-trim package. Bound up in a Calton case when not in use, you won’t ever have to worry about the safety of this sweet Dream Series from Kathy Wingert.

As of late, we’ve had a slew of magnificent instruments, and this 2005 Wingert 00 fits right in with the best of them. Finding a set of Brazilian Rosewood this gorgeous and responsive in today’s market? Difficult to say the least, but Kathy appears to have snagged some excellent sets for herself, and it’s a treat to see how well this particular set has been employed. The curving butterfly wings of the grain patterns exhibit chocolate-rich colorings, and are matched only by the medullary rays of the German Spruce top, itself matched by a sparkling winged sprite inlaid with Abalone and Mother-Of-Pearl across the headstock by Kathy’s own daughter, Jimmi Wingert.

Once we were able to tear our eyes away from these attractive features, the guitar became an entirely different beast at the first pluck of the strings. Celtic arrangements in DADGAD are rich and sustained; travis-style fingerpicking in Standard is crisp and projective; even wrong notes sounded great! Between these top-notch tonewoods and the 00 body, this Wingert is optimized for the fingerstylist who wants to squeeze every bit of nuance out of their music, and Kathy’s famously smooth fretwork and low action make playing effortless. Ready for a guitar which can do justice to your arrangements? This Wingert (wrapped up in a Calton case) is up to the challenge.

Here we have a 2002 Wingert EVC in Adirondack (Red) Spruce and Cocobolo Rosewood. This is a strong and gutsy guitar that will just knock your socks off! The combination of Red Spruce and Cocobolo make for great projection and sustain with wondeful overtone content. Whether you are driving it hard are dialing it back to something softer, this instrument can handle it. Kathy is a master builder, her fit finish and tone are enviable, it is no wonder she is so well regarded in the Luthier world. This is an easy one to fall for.

Kathy Wingert’s F Model is her larger body SJ design. This one has great bass response and power along with her trademark, rich, dense trebles. This is a wonderfully inspiring guitar, it makes you want to play. The Cocobolo and Italian body is elegantly adorned with select Paua Abalone with fine red perflings. The Italian top has drop dead gorgeous figuring which sets this one apart from the crowd. There is also a P.U.W. pickup system.

This is a custom Wingert F model crafted from African Blackwood and German Spruce. Kathy’s F is her larger Grand Auditorium body and it fills the room with a big sound that is warm, dark and mysterious thanks to the African Blackwood. The wonderfully silky German tops insures great clarity and power. The cutaway and DUAL BEVELS for both the arm and chest make this a complete and wonderful Wingert guitar. Oh, and there is a Calton Flight case as well…
