This one’s a special piece that stands proud apart from the crowd! California’s Tad Brown offers this brand new True Blue acoustic archtop here with Sugar Maple body and Adirondack Spruce top, stainless steel frets, and a lapis lazuli-infused finish rendering the guitar in a brilliant blue.
Here’s Tad to explain: “Earth meets water in Honduran Rosewood and Lapis Lazuli. The blue pigment comes from the historic Lapis Lazuli gemstone, sprayed on as the color coat. It has this very cool unique three dimensional effect, appearing darker or lighter depending on ambient lighting, being translucent to direct light and opaque in reflected light. Permanent colorfastness that will never fade.”
Such an exciting and novel approach, and we’re here to tell you, it’s gorgeous. Added touches include: Rosewood tailpiece suspended on titanium cello tailgut wire, which resonates and adds overtone complexity to your playing, a pickup jack installed at the tail (for adding a pickup down the line should you choose), and a Fort Knox-strong Calton flight case.

Tad Brown is quickly becoming a fan favorite here at Dream Guitars. Many of our clients are being drawn to his beautiful look, modern approach to building an archtop with a lively sound, and the beauty they exude.
Blue is the new color for royalty. This “True Blue” from Tad Brown is simply incredible, one of those guitars that’s as exciting to the eyes as the hands, and of course the ears. I’m a sucker for easy playability in an oval hole archtop package!
