Notes:

The Dreamcatcher was built side-by-side with Diablo, so you will notice allot of similarities between the 2, which had both using the templates of the Silver Willow guitar. The tight curl on the upper horn as well as the easy-access to the higher frets with the lower horn. This guitar is wider than other models I have created and will be appealing to any Les Paul fans. I did chamber the Mahogany body to alleviate some of the weight, which ended up at 9.1 lbs. This will be the last guitar with this particular (SW) body shape.

Moe, of MoeColors (Who does the painting/finishing of Virgil Guitars) had made a custom red trans-dye that is simply stunning - most of the photos are showing you a very accurate example of what this red looks like, but for some reason it's much deeper when seen in person. The striking binding is also an appointment on this guitar that can't be missed. I sandwiched a redwood tone board in between the bookmatched Myrtlewood top and Mahogany body and knew that it would look astounding as a one-of-a-kind natural binding that I have never seen before.

As a fine-line pen and ink artist growing up, I finally had a chance to show my detail prowess on this guitar's feathers that are inlaid into the fingerboard and truss rod cover. these lines are so small, it is almost hard to detect with the human eye - they almost look real.
Here are all of the materials that were used on the inlay:

Gold MOP (Mother-of-pearl), Bronze MOP, Black MOP, Pink MOP, Paua Abalone, Green Abalone, White Ivory MOP, Faux Turquoise RS (Recon Stone), Red Vein RS, Faux Malachite RS, Red swirl RS, Brown vein RS, Purple/gold spec RS, Malachite RS, Blue RS and Birdseye maple.

Most people don't catch this, but the beads on the Dreamcatcher are the fret markers.

This guitar has incredible tone with a large variety of pickup settings due to the coil tap (8 in all) It also has really nice action and is very easy to play. It can be yours... this is a one-off gem that would make a nice addition to any worthwhile collection.
