For more than a decade, renowned West Virginia luthier Andrew White has built an amazing reputation. Andrew has become well known for his ability to successfully pair traditional and non-traditional elements such as fan frets and modified body shapes. Many of his personally handmade guitars now demand more than $10,000 per piece.

In his personal shop, Andrew builds only a handful of guitars each year. In an effort to bring his instruments to a larger audience, he partnered with a well respected Korean guitar manufacturer, Artec Sound Co. The result are instruments that are incredibly consistent in their voice and playability, making use of modern designs with an emphasis on high quality fit and finish.

Andrew and Artec have together created three body sizes including the Freja, Eos, and Cybele. Each of these models are also offered in a variety of different tone woods and options.

Over the years, Dream Guitars has consistently received requests from our fans to expand our offering to include quality instruments in the lower price range between $500 and $3,000. This year, Dream Guitars did just that by adding a handful of new, fine instruments within this range. Andrew White’s new line of quality manufactured guitars was a no-brainer to be included in this initial expansion.

“It was fate that when I saw Andrew at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival this year we were looking for great guitars in an entry level pricing and he has just launched his line. It is exactly the kind of guitar we were looking for, a modern design with serious tone and quality build. Our clients will love these!” – Paul Heumiller

“These Andrew White guitars have an incredibly consistent tone and playability. The neck feels good and seems to have a slightly smaller string spacing than standard which makes it easier to reach those bigger stretches. The fit and finish is really nice and the woods are beautiful. ” – Al Petteway

Dream Guitars has always specialized in the high-end instruments hand made by the finest luthiers. This remains our passion and purpose, but over the years we’ve had repeated requests to offer working man guitars suitable for stage and travel.

Many players and fans of DG were going unserved by us and they wanted us to be their shop. They trust us to choose only great instruments regardless of the price point.

So we set out to do just that.

We are now adding brands such as Gold Tone. Gold Tone was started by the husband and wife team of Wayne and Robyn Rogers whose goal is to produce professional quality instruments at an affordable price.

Gold Tone has now wound up on stages the world over with performers such as Bella Fleck, Bill Keith and Buddy Miller just to name a few.

Dream Guitars owner Paul Heumiller has this to say about Gold Tone, “One of the aspects of offering Gold Tone I’m most excited about is that the price point will give players a chance to try something new. Maybe a guitarist will try an Octave Mandolin or a Steel Guitar. Maybe a songwriter will get to try a Baritone guitar and be inspired in a new direction. To me that’s what makes Gold Tone special, they are truly about making music.”

We will be stocking a wide array of instruments from Gold Tone including Paul Beard Designed Resonators, Baritones, Mandolins, Octave Mandolins and more. We are also happy to order anything else you need. Just holler…

Gold Tone as well as other new brands such as Stonebridge, Composite Acoustic and Andrew White Guitars, are available for immediate purchase in our newly improved Online Store. Click Here to Browse!
