1930 Martin 000-45, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
This guitar is the stuff of legends, the original Holy Grail against which contemporary guitars are measured. A 1930 Martin 000-45: the tone, playability, and appointments that made Martin Guitars the industry standard are here represented in an amazingly well-preserved form. This 000-45 is all original (down to the cast iron key for the case)–really, the odds of you coming across another 1930 000-45 in this condition are incredibly small. After all only 21 were made in 1930. This particular 000-45 is historically significant also as it’s a 12-fret that has the belly bridge. Both are design features that offer optimum tone, this one just about jumps out of your lap.
Moreover, this Martin plays as easy as glass, after a neck reset performed by our repair gurus, so it’s as easy as breathing to excite these strings and let the past 86 years of good vibrations come pouring out of the soundhole. How such a guitar could still be in such excellent condition, we don’t know–but we’re glad this piece of history has been spared the vagaries of time, and continues to sing as easily as in 1930.

2003 Matsuda M1, Mahogany/Cedar

1980s Dumble Overdrive Special
Holy smokes, the holy grail amp. A Dumble Overdrive Special from the 1980s that’s been well-cared for and maintained. This cabinet was built by Doug Stalters in Poplar with proper dovetails, and with two modifications: laser engraving the face plate to the original design, and to change the layout by moving the master volume to the front and replacing the mini blade switches with mini toggles. The latter of which is something that Dumble himself has been using since the 90s. The chassis is engraved as a 50w Overdrive Special; but this in fact a 100w model. Additionally, you’ll find a built-in Dumbleator tube-buffered effects loop. This, combined with a master volume knob, are rare finds on a Dumble.
We’ve got an additional series of demos here with our own Billy Presnell walking through all the details: https://youtu.be/P4nXQUYjo1s?si=3k98Jgng5wJlQ0FB

2005 Tippin Staccato, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
We here at Dream Guitars have been long time friends and fans of Bill Tippin. His guitars certainly helped inspire our niche of the guitar business back in the day, and if you have ever played one of bill’s guitars you know why. This 2005 Staccato in Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce has all the warmth and grand tone of an OM but in a much smaller, easier-to-hold package. The voice of this little gem truly is special, full and clear with a focus on uniformity of tone from string to string. Take a look at that Brazilian Rosewood; you can easily get lost in the grain patterns. To top it all off, the Staccato comes with a custom Calton flight case, the perfect protection for the perfect fingerstyle guitar.

2022 Tippin Forte, The Tree Mahogany/Alpine Moonspruce
Bill Tippin’s Forte model for the win. This flattop is a feat of lutherie from one of our all-time favorite builders, and Bill does not disappoint. The Tree Mahogany back and sides plus Alpine Moonspruce top makes for a unique blend of snappy bass and bell-like trebles. A natural choice for fingerstyle, and with the larger Forte body style this one is also right at home with a flatpick as well. One of those rare guitars that makes everything sound just a bit better. Creature comforts include an arm bevel, contoured heel carve, soundport, and Scheller tuners. Aesthetic dressings include the wildly figured Tree Mahogany, African Blackwood bindings and engraft, and tasteful Abalone inlays throughout.
