SOLD - 2008 Blanchard Guitars Tamarack Dream Series - Dream Series #1, Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar

We've wanted to work with Mark Blanchard for years and finally the stars have aligned. This is not only our first Blanchard but it's our first Dream Series from Mark. This guitar boasts one of the most complete voices you'll ever hear. Mark has a gift for making guitars that are sonorous and rich sounding but remain clear and articulate. For this Dream Series we selected the very best Brazilian Rosewood, just look at the photos. Mark crafted gorgeous bookmatched headplate a custom backplate and rosette as well. Plus this one has Mark's custom armrest design that allows the top to speak fully. This is a guitar full of joy!

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"It is truly an honor to have this guitar in our shop. They just don't come any better than this. Our Dream Series are guitars that we commission with the simple goal of uncomprimising quality and tone. As you can see this guitar represents the best of everything Blanchard. The voice is nothing short of mesmerizing and enchanting. I guarantee this guitar will beg you to play every spare moment you can find." - Paul Heumiller

"This is by far one of the best guitars I've played here at Dream Guitars. It is reponsive and balanced with every note ringing true and clear. The Manzer style wedge body and the rounded armrest make it extemely comfortable to play and the action is set up perfectly. Another fantastic Dream Series guitar." - Al Petteway
