Taylor Guitars
Bob Taylor (www.taylorguitars.com) sent the acoustic guitar world into a new direction with his incredible innovation and skill at building a quality acoustic guitar. His use of new techniques, CAD design, and state-of-the-art equipment has started a revolution in guitar building. Taylor guitars are a dream to play, sound incredible, are a work of art, and are among the most sought after, quality acoustic guitars on the market today. When you step up to a Taylor, and own your first one, and really begin to play it, a new world of music opens up to you. You become more innovative in your playing, more eager to pick it up and play it, and in the end, you end up a better player. Chances are, if you buy your first one, it won’t be your last. I’m up to seven and still counting.

Collings Guitars
This relatively small builder in Austin, Texas (www.collingsguitars.com) crafts beyond question some of the most astounding acoustic instruments available today. The workmanship that goes into each instrument is evident when you play the first chord on a Collings. It is hard to describe the sound that eminates – true, clear, crisp, deep, and beautiful. Inspired by the early Martins (pre-war), Bill Collings set out to re-capture this quality and sound, and to “build a better mouse trap.” When you play a Collings, you’ll know that he accomplished his goal. Bill Collings and Steve McCreary head up a close knit, small group of luthiers who build some truly incredible acoustic instruments, both guitars and mandolins. They may be a little more pricey than similar models of their competitors, but the quality is quite evident when you play one, and the slight difference in price doesn’t matter any more.

James Olson
The mystique of owning an Olson guitar finally got the best of me, and I purchased my first Olson a few years ago. The waiting list for a new one is so long that you are almost forced into the used or vintage market. Don’t be surprised if you pay three times the value of what a new Olson cost a few years ago. But, in spite of the cost, they are truly remarkable instruments. Players such as Phil Keaggey, Leo Kottke, Paul McCartney, and of course, James Taylor, put Olson on the map. James Olson is truly a luthier that models his business after the luthiers of a previous generation, keeping his shop small, and virtually building each guitar himself. The craftsmanship, beauty, detail, and sound of an Olson is truly amazing. If money is no object, you won’t be disappointed in an Olson.

Morris Guitars
This name may not be familiar to you, but Morris is the United States brand name of a line of quality instruments hand crafted in Japan. They are beautiful to look at as well as listen to, and the craftsmanship is truly top quality. Their parent company Moridaira is a long time guitar builder in Japan, and their reputation is growing. Such players as Phil Keaggy and Jim Nichols have added Morris guitars to their collection, and play them professionally. GuitarDreamers is an authorized dealer for Morris, and can help you get one of these quality instruments at an excellent price. Click on www.morrisguitars.com for more information about models.

Michael Kelly Mandolins
GuitarDreamers is an authorized dealer for this quality line of mandolins. Thanks to the increased interest in bluegrass music, the mandolin and acoustic guitar are experiencing an enormous growth in popularity. One real challenge is to find a quality “F Style” mandolin that looks good, sounds great, and doesn’t cause you to mortgage your house to buy one. Michael Kelly has accomplished that. The mandolins that we carry from his line are solid wood, hand crafted instruments. The design, wood selection, and quality processes were developed here in the USA, and a factory was established in Korea to build these instruments under strict quality requirements. Try one of these instruments, and compare them to the US made mandolins with similar specs, and you’ll see that you will receive the same sound and beauty at a fraction of the cost. Send us an email at info@guitardreamers.com, or call us at 1-866-7Guitar for more information.
