Incoming Preston Thompson 000-14BA Custom
Early in 2015 I had the pleasure of playing my first Preston Thompson guitar. I was mesmerized by the warm and full voice that came out of the small 000 sized body. I remember Al Petteway and I talking about how magical the voice was. The build quality was also perfect in every detail.
I reached out to Preston and asked him to make us a Dream Series instrument. This is something we have only done with approximately eight to ten builders over the years. I very much look forward to seeing and hearing the first of many Thompson guitars. I’m certain our clientele will absolutely love them. Following are a handful of specs featured on this incoming Dream Series guitar: Top: Adirondack Back and Sides: Brazilian Rosewood Binding: Brazilian w/BW purf Top Purfling: Herringbone Rosette: Abalone 3-Ring Back Strip: 45 Style Tail Wedge: Brazilian w/BW Purf Neck: Honduran Mahogany Headstock Binding: Brazilian w/BW Purf Headstock: Slotted Neck Binding: Brazilian Nut width: 1 3/4” String Spacing: 2 5/16” Heel Cap: Brazilian This one is currently available for purchase here at Dream Guitars – Please call the shop for more information 828-658-9795. Following are a few additional early images of this beauty coming together as well:
