Description

2001 American Dream Archtop Acoustic Guitar, Serial #090-2001.
This 2001 American Dream Archtop Acoustic Guitar, Serial #090-2001, is a rare 7-string carved archtop built by the respected American Dream luthiers in Pennsylvania. Featuring a hand-carved top and traditional archtop construction, this guitar has been moderately played and shows signs of regular use, including scuffs, dings, and nicks. It comes housed in a TKL hard case for protection.
Hard case included.

American Dream guitars have earned a reputation among jazz and archtop players for their quality craftsmanship and limited production. The 7-string format adds extended range ideal for jazz soloing or bass line comping, making this a unique tool for advanced players or collectors of niche acoustic instruments. The moderate wear reflects honest use and adds character to an already uncommon build. With its Pennsylvania workshop heritage and solid reputation among archtop aficionados, this guitar is both a player's instrument and a collectible example of modern American luthiery.
