The Story: A few years back Paul had a discussion with one of our builders, Kathy Wingert, about creating a guitar especially for Dream Guitars, the kind of guitar builders are not often asked to build, their best. That led to the concept of creating a unique Series of guitars, which would allow the builders an opportunity to use their finest material and to include concepts and features that the they wanted to incorporate in very special guitars built without compromise. We approached the luthiers, who we felt were the very best of our era. We were pleased to find that they welcomed the challenge of creating something new, while maintaining the quality of sound for which they were known. Together with these eleven great luthiers, we created the ‘Dream Series’. A limited edition of guitars, built without compromise. We were so taken by these instruments that we recorded them all on a one of a kind CD. Great guitars are part of the reason for the CD, the other part is Al Petteway. Those of you who are familiar with the site, know Al as the guy who plays everything from sweet acoustic fingerstyle guitar to down home banjo & mandolin to electric lead with attitude. He’s also a wonderful composer who wrote all the ’56 second wonders’ on our site. Those sound clips that everyone wants TAB for. This CD showcases aspects of Al’s talent that are only hinted at in those soundclips as well as his ability to write songs that are as much emotional journeys as they are technical wizardry.
We are proud to offer Dream Guitars Vol. 1. “As a long time player, collector, and all around guitar enthusiast it is a great joy to listen to Al play his beautiful songs while I sit back and visualize the guitar, the woods, and all of the fine details that these magnificant luthiers put into each guitar. I wish I could have one of each! Maybe someday.” – Dan R.
CAGED Scales (Major) Tablature arranged by Andy Jurik (Download PDF)
CAGED Scales (major)
scales and arpeggios
The CAGED scales are an excellent vehicle for transversing the fretboard, connecting positions, and really understanding what’s going on underneath your fingers. Additionally, they’re excellent resources for sight-reading and improvisation.
We’re going to keep everything centered around the second position of the guitar for simplicity, knowing that we can transition these fingerings anywhere on the fretboard. Additionally, I’m going to introduce these outside of the CAGED ordering, based on what I’ve found to be the most commonly known scale fingerings.

How are Calton Cases made? By hand and with love. While Calton CNC initial plugs and molds for testing new styles and shapes, once they’ve tested the cases—inside and out—they are made by hand. Without giving away too many secrets, here is how they do it:
- Measurements: we rely on you (and your dealer) for precise measurements of your instruments. This ensures the perfect fit.
- Exterior I: three layers of hand-laid fiberglass build the foundation for the side walls, tops and bottoms of each case.
- Exterior II: once the fiberglass shell is trimmed, up to 97 rivets are used to adhere latches, catch surrounds (leather bumpers), protective feet and a custom leather handle.
- Interior Stage I: gluing of the rubber trim and initial placement of interior fabric, foam and lining.
- Interior Stage II: cutting and assembly of the remaining foam layers and final velvet placement.
- Squeaky Clean: we call this the “detailing” stage where we meticulously polish exteriors and vacuum interiors.
- Final Inspection: every square inch of every case is looked over, making sure it is ready for the road. We add your label (with serial number) and ship!
