Brian Bogg's Dream Guitars Guitar Chair
If you are lucky enough to live in or around Asheville, North Carolina, you already know it is a special place to be. Not only does the area boast a vibrant and eclectic music scene, but it is also a powerful magnet for many other art forms as well. Artist from all walks of life seem magnetically pulled into the friendly spirit of the place, knowing they've found a home where they can expressive themselves creatively, amongst a vivacious, multifarious community.
Brian Bogg's, is one such artist. Hailing from Kentucky, he brought his lifelong fascination with chair making to the heart of Asheville, where he now operates the Bogg's Collective. The mission of the Collective is to produce exquisite furniture, in a reliable and sustainable manner.
A perpetual innovator, Brian always had it in his mind to design the ultimate guitarists chair. A chair that reinforced excellent playing posture and supportive comfort, while removing non-ergonomic features found in typical chairs. His goal was to create a chair with beautiful aesthetics, that maximized player comfort for long sessions.
Naturally, when fate brought the Bogg's Collective and Dream Guitars together, we all realized that that the time had come to design the ultimate guitar chair.
Paul and I met with Brian and his team several times. We discussed the needs of the player, keeping what was essential and discarding what was superfluous. In the end, we collectively came up with a design that surpasses any other offering on the market.
We are proud to unveil the fruit of all our labors, the Brian Bogg's Dream Guitars
It is like the Guitar, or a Violin, if you buy one for $30 maybe you are satisfied. If you appreciate the Stradivarius and can perform to that level, maybe $100,000 is the right cost of a violin. DreamGuitars has a very wide range of prices. The same applies to this furniture. Brian Boggs, Sam Maloof are famous woodworkers that make fantastic chairs. I make a chair and get paid about the cost of the wood, theirs ends up in a museum. Worth it to the buyer, otherwise, don't buy.

fuck sake whats a poor man supposed to do, there is no way in hell i can afford something like this. Guess the only people who can afford to buy a $1500 chair are rich people.

I very much doubt that 'erictjie's' carpenter can do anything well if he can do that chair for $100 in teak. I work with wood for a living, and build guitars. I won't work for clients like 'erictjie' that can't tell sawdust from shinola. They can shop at KMart. I agree that the price is steep. At the same time I recognize the investment in design time, and the effort in craftsmanship.

I appreciate the thought and craftsmanship that went into this, but I’m a workin’ stiff and $1500 is way too much. Who pays that much for a hunk of wood that doesn’t make any sound?

I don't know much about chairs and I didn't try this chair either but... Isn't 1500$ for one chair a little TOO much?
