“Many of you will already know Chuck Brodsky and if you don’t you are in for a treat. Chuck is a songwriter with uncanny wit and the ability to draw images of real people in our world and their stories. Humor and emotion are both prevalent in Chuck’s lyrics. I know you will all enjoy sharing in his music! ” – Paul Heumiller

“What tales this singer-songwriter from Philadelphia has…
With insight and good humor, he has taken these life experiences
and distilled them into old fashioned story songs
brimming with wit and compassion.”
—New York Times

Setup Saturdays – FREE Guitar Tweaks!

One Saturday per month Dream Guitars invites players to bring in their tired, their weak, or their mildly upset guitars for professional tweaks by our Luthiers James Condino and Ken Jones. Just our way of helping the players in the community. Beverages and Snacks will be provided and informal jams are encouraged! A great way to meet fellow players and talk shop. Demo guitars while you wait and generally have fun!

**Check back here for updates or schedule changes

Stay tuned….

One prime difference between Dream Guitars and other guitar sellers is that we regularly work one-on-one with the best luthiers on the planet – commissioning extraordinary, exclusive guitars with the very finest appointments. Our Dream Series builds are legendary, featuring superlative tone woods and design, and crafted for superb playability and utmost player satisfaction.

Quite often, these highly desirable treasures never even make it to our website, as they are quickly acquired by our walk-in clientele before they can be photographed and recorded. With that in mind, we are starting our new Incoming Guitars blog to keep you abreast of incoming instruments that are truly amongst the finest ever made. Please bookmark this page, or check back regularly for updates.

GREENFIELD GUITARS

Greenfield Model G3

We have two very special Michael Greenfield guitars arriving soon. The first is a G3 model due in February. This exciting guitar features Palo Escrito Rosewood back and sides and a Moon Spruce top. This combination yields a tone with a warm, rich low-end, and impressive clarity and definition.

G3 example - not actual incoming guitar

In Michael’s words: This small body, concert size guitar is slightly larger than the old pre-war 00 size parlor guitars. The classical inspired body shape makes it more versatile and lends itself better to a wider variety of musical styles than traditional parlor guitars do. The G3 is a lot of fun to play and has beautiful clear highs, yet a surprisingly present bass response for such a small-bodied instrument.

Here are the specs:

Scale length: 25.0″
Nut width: 1 ^7/8″ or 1 ^13/16″
Body length: 19 ^1/4″
Body width – Lower bout: 14 ^3/4″
Body width – Upper bout: 11″
Body depth at lower bout: 4 ^1/8″
Overall length: 38″

Greenfield Model GF

Next up – due April/May – is a new Greenfield model, the GF. This is the first of this model to be offered anywhere, and it is a real honor for Dream Guitars to be part of the launch. Michael describes this guitar as the essential Greenfield guitar and extremely versatile.

Slightly larger than an OM, this Grand Concert size guitar sits comfortably in your lap. It features Mahogany back and sides and a spruce top. Please call to reserve your Greenfield today!

MICHIHIRO MATSUDA GUITARS

Matsuda Guitars Model M1 Cutaway

Arriving this March/April: Model M1 by Michihiro Matsuda. This refined beauty is built with a stunning set of Brazilian Rosewood, hand selected by Dream Guitar’s own Paul Heumiller. The top is an exceptionally fine piece of Italian Spruce. Other specs include  a 1 3/4″ nut 2 1/4″ string spacing. Please call for more details.

MICHAEL KELLER GUITARS

Keller Dream Series Rose Model SJ

One of our favorite builders – and one of the nicest guys in the guitar biz – is longtime luthier Michael Keller. We have had many spectacular Keller instruments at Dream Guitars over the years, and they are always impressive. We are so knocked out with Michael’s work, that we commissioned him to build the latest addition to our exclusive Dream Series. Starting with a flawless set of Brazilian Rosewood and an Adirondack top, this guitar is sure to be as wonderfully voiced as it is gorgeous! Please call for further information, and to reserve the Keller Dream Series Rose Model SJ for yourself.
