So good, and so gone. We couldn’t manage to hold onto this brand new Keystone SJ for a second before a lucky client snatched it up! This is our latest spec build from Keisuke Nishi, which Paul based off his personal specs. Thus, premium Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (as well as bindings, bridge, fretboard, headpalate—and neck!) with German Spruce on top, multiscale setup at 26.25-25.5”, and an exquisitely executed inlay sprawling along frets 4-10.
This one-piece BRW neck is a real gem, and part of what gives this Keystone its very clean, very dynamic sustain and projection. What a voice, this one has. The bass response is thunderous, yet paired perfectly with a present midrange and smooth trebles. It’s practically perfect.

This is why I created Dream Guitars. So that instruments like this could be brought into the world and shared with you. This guitar is the result of my playing thousands of guitars and traveling the world to meet the greatest makers, and here we have Nishi‘s desire and passion to build the best guitar he possibly is capable of. We put our minds and hearts together and spec’d out this guitar in hopes that it would have a wondrous and beautiful voice that would equal the elegant lines, careful craftsmanship and stunning artistic details. I’d say that we achieved it and then some. I simply adore this guitar.
