Thank you for the compliments re the sound of the Dream presentation of my JB-15. They have become quite proficient at making recordings that show their guitars in the best light possible. As it happens, I believe this particular guitar does sound quite good, but what really makes this guitar (and most any other I’ve made) stand out is the responsive quality, it sort of gets out of the player’s way and makes the sound seem to spring from your own body. This is a quality often overlooked, and virtually always underrated.
Some guitars you have to force the sound out of, others you seem to restrain, releasing the beauty by forming it with your fingers on the instrument. You will know it when you experience it, if you’re looking for it.
All guitars are tools, but a well balance razor sharp tool in skilled hands is a wonderful thing.
