2008 Charis Acoustics Dream Series, SJ Cutaway - Small Jumbo Acoustic Guitar

Our Dream Series from Bill Wise/Charis Acoustics has been extremely well-received and was a highlight on our the latest Al Petteway CD, Dream Guitars Vol. 1. This one, #7 of 10, is quite special with it's tight grained Brazilian which is some of the very best you can find today. For #7 Bill gave us his new armrest Bevel in Makore, a full fingerboard border and an inlay of wooden leaves in fall colors. The voice is full of rich color, brilliant highs and perfectly balanced lows. The Charis sound is very special as any current owner would tell you everyone loves his slim neck shape. The Brazilian here really is special, we rarely see it so tight grained and uniform anymore. Bill decided on an Italian top for this one which enhances the clarity and shimmer.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"This guitar has a wonderful combinaton of shimmering brilliance, full mids and sweet, warm low end. It has a voice that is clear and pure but with it's own complexity and overtones. I've always loved the midrange Bill Wise achieves on his guitars and this one has it. If you like a versatile fingerstyle guitar that can move between genres, but always have that something special, this is for you. The cutaway and armrest bevel make it easy to hold and play and we love the Makore wood trim on this series, it's original and gorgeous. Just a few left to be built in this limited edition Dream Series from Charis, so don't miss this chance to get yours." - Paul Heumiller

"This guitar has blossomed into one of the best sounding Charis Dream Series I've played and it's in perfect condition." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"...you made the experience a real pleasure... just you and me in the showroom going from tone to tone and hearing with our guts was what it's all about for me. Rosewood, maple, walnut, whatever -- this guitar felt like, sounded like, it had been waiting for me to show up and take it home. I appreciated your sensitivity to my ear and playing style, you really did guide me to the right guitar for me to play, not just the right guitar for you to sell. What a joy that process was. I love my new guitar, can't keep my hands off it, and I'm writing to thank you for your keen ear, hospitality, and expertise. " - Mike E., Danville, KY
