Each Wingert guitar is one of a kind and crafted to the highest level. Here we have a Model E with African Blackwood and Italian spruce, two of the very finest tone woods in use today.

This Randy Wood 0000 is wonderfully unique from the tone to the appointments; all speak to a rockin’ vintage vibe. The Koa back and sides are evenly colored and figured in two directions, and the Adirondack Spruce top is tight grained and aged to a warm, amber color. Tonally, this guitar has all the great “bark” of Mahogany, but with clarity and wholeness of sound thanks to twenty years of maturity and Randy’s decades of experience working as a luthier and repair artist working for some of the biggest names in Nashville, Tennessee.
Randy was ahead of his time in returning to the traditional roots of the craft by constructing this guitar entirely with hide glue. Playability is top notch for both the fret hand and the picking hand–this guitar is as light as a feather with a crisp projection!

If Randy Wood lays his hands on your damaged instruments, you know that soon it will sound better than when it was new. If you, on the other hand, get to lay your hands on one of his instruments, you know that soon your songs are going to sound better than brand new! This Brazilian-Rosewood-and-Adirondack-Spruce Dreadnought we’ve got in the shop today has got more energy than a steam engine, and boasts a gorgeous pre-war aesthetic that’ll be the envy of every Bluegrass picker you know. One of five guitars that Randy built as copies of a certain Herringbone Dreadnought, this 1993 Dreadnought is perfect for the flatpicker looking for an enormous voice with lots of rumble in the bass.
Be it solos or chords, this guitar absolutely kills it–the projection is fearsome, and if you listen at the right moments you can pick up some gorgeous treble overtones fit to melt your heart. We had a go with a few songs, and found this Dreadnought provided excellent accompaniment, if you were prepared to sing a bit louder, and with a thumbpick the bass notes had a fat, juicy snap! to them that’s perfect for Blues.

When Paul Woolson built this guitar, he put a check next to every option on the list! We’re looking at a 2010 DM-6 all-Mahogany OM with: Mahogany double top, soundport, demi cutaway, elevated fingerboard, armrest, and K&K Pure Mini, which is quite a mouth full. Add all of these features up, and you’ve got a fabulously well-balanced instrument in your hands that’s perfect for, well, everything!
With the shorter scale length (at 25 inches), fingerstyle arrangements are effortless to pull off (or hammer on), and we found that everything from Jazz and Country to tunes from the CandyRat repertoire sounded even, rich, and clear. With the soundport, you’ve got all that sweet tone projected right to your ears, and the raised fretboard extension and demi cutaway help to make the entire fretboard accessible for your fretting pleasure.

Here we have a Woolson Soundcraft WSC Jumbo Parlor in Mahogany with a gorgeous Sinker Redwood top. Paul Woolson makes impeccably-crafted guitars that are bursting with tone and character. Not only are his material choices superb, but his design innovations result in a unique voice that’s supremely musical. His Jumbo Parlor model is a great example of this, with a small body size that’s complimented nicely by extra-deep sides, an elevated fingerboard, and a very light, modified X brace. What results is a big voice that defies it’s small size, with plenty of midrange bite, a robust bottom end, and just the right amount of treble chime.

We’ve known Paul Woolson for a few years but didn’t have the chance to play his guitars until the Miami show early in 2008. We never represent a builder that we haven’t played and been thoroughly impressed with and that’s just what happened in Miami. Guitarist Larry Pattis, a long time friend to DG, invited us to play Woolson guitars there and we were blown away because Paul Woolson has created a Double Top that is not stark or hollow, as some can be, it’s warm and full just with added power. To us that’s a great achievement and immediately ordered this guitar; an OM cutaway, Double Top featuring a Cedar and Lutz Spruce ‘skins’ on the top and gorgeous Cocobolo Rosewood for the body. We also requested Paul’s double back design to match the one we loved at Miami. We are delighted with this guitar, it’s clear, even, warm and powerful and all that is wrapped in a small, easy to hold, beautiful OM body. This is exciting… About Double Tops From Paul Woolson: “The term ‘double top’ has been thrown around for a few years now. In its current form, it’s relatively new technology. However, classical builders have been used the original form of the double top for decades. The concept of a double-topped guitar is pretty simple: Sandwich a thin layer of aerospace honeycomb material between two very thin tops (or skins as we call them in our shop). This is done in a vacuum process, which creates a very stiff and stable soundboard. The main advantage to this structure is that the top can be built very lightly braced and still remain structurally sound. A lighter top allows more energy from the strings to turn into sound. The final result, in its very simplistic form, is a louder guitar.”

We are big fans of Jeffrey Yong here at Dream Guitars.

Made for the 2013 Healdsburg Guitar Festival, this all Mango wood guitar is the latest brainchild and showpiece of luthier Jeffrey Yong. Internationally renowned for his innovative design features, Jeffrey has really pulled out all of the stops on this one. To begin, he chose beautifully figured mango for the back, sides and even the top, and the overall result is a unique, yet uniform aesthetic. The natural heritage of this instrument is further showcased by Yong’s inlaying of tree branch figures into the fingerboard, headstock, and back. However, the mango wood, it turns out, is more than just for show: this guitar possesses a sweet, balanced tone, with bass that smoothly blends and folds into itself as the trebles ring out clearly and distinctly. Additional features like the half-slotted headstock, scoop cutaway, smooth arm bevel, and soundport make this one as original as they come.

This is our first guitar from Jeffrey Yong, and it’s a beauty. Jeffrey builds guitars in Malaysia using exotic woods such as the Monkey Pod used for the body on this JJ model. This wood is not only stunning, with its natural golden color and deep figure, but it has a great energetic voice. It has the pump and roar of Mahogany and produces full, round notes. This Yong guitar also features his sculpted Cutaway, which allows access but doesn’t cut away much of the body. There is also an armrest bevel and a soundport to complete this gorgeous and fully loaded guitar from Jeffrey Yong.
