Jim Olson has been building some of the finest fingerstyle guitars for decades now, and very few of them have been as fine as this presentation model. Jim spared absolutely no expense on this guitar. Every material used is the best that can be found, from the Red Spruce to the jaw dropping set of 5a Brazilian Rosewood, that’s five A’s ! The woods themselves are pretty enough on their own, but Jim took it one step further by adding Abalone purflings and a truly impressive Abalone tree of life inlay. Bearing all of those things in mind it would be easy to overlook tone, but play it once and the tone of this guitar will haunt you forever. This is Olson tone at its finest, wonderfully clear with great note separation. Jim makes precious few of the presentation model, grab this one up while you can, it’s sure to be a lifetime instrument.

This Tacchi Coclea Thucia is the sort of instrument that inspired the concept behind Dream Guitars. It is an instrument that stands far above the many instruments in the world and offers something very unique and special. Tacchi developed the 3 piece top combining Cedar outer boards with Alpine Spruce in the center after hearing a Torres model with softer spruce surrounding stiffer spruce. This design makes for trebles that ‘ring like a bell’ says Tacchi and we can confirm that. Rarely have we heard such clear and present treble strings on a nylon guitar. The purity of note is outstanding. Rodgers Tuners and an Accord Case compliment this worldclass Tacchi guitar.

When it comes to fingerstyle guitar, this Tunnel 13 Grand Concert by Bruce Petros is a standalone instrument. The beautifully quartered Redwood top was originally harvested over 130 years ago and has been air drying and aging ever since. When paired with the rippling Claro Walnut back and sides, the Redwood top plays warm and sweet, crisp and clear. Though relatively young in its guitar form, this one sings and plays like a mature, seasoned instrument. Very few guitars put out this quality of tone. This is one worth writing home about…
