It’s humbling to see such consistency in a builder’s work, with exquisite voicing for fingerstyle playing that focuses on note clarity and definition. This is Mark’s Sequoia body shape with a generous 16 inch lower bout, and here he’s upgraded it with a body wedge and arm bevel for ergonomics, a soundport in the upper bout, and a multiscale setup that’s perfect for everything from C tunings to Standard (26.25-25.25”). The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides come from our own secret stash, and Mark used a creamy European Spruce top to match.

Here’s an additional demo with our own Duane Simpson: https://youtu.be/QH0MUw0ZGYQ.

The Dream Series is near and dear to my heart. We provided our old Brazilian Rosewood to Mark Blanchard, one of our favorite makers, and let him do his thing. The Sequoia is his larger body guitar offering versatility for strumming and fingerstyle. This one has a wedge body an arm rest bevel and cutaway so it’s outfitted to to be extremely comfortable and the voice will surely inspire.
The voice is characterized by power and articulation, with a breathy quality to the trebles that warms up after the initial attack. Mark pulled out all the stops on this Dream Series, with a body wedge, multiscale setup, arm rest, and primo Brazilian Rosewood plus European Spruce
