This particular guitar is in the top 3 of all the guitars I have owned... and that is up there with a Guild D40 Bluegrass Jubilee, and a Taylor 25th anniversary 314kce (Koa custom). This guitar is great.
Sound
Awesome sound. Very punchy, and fairly bright. Surprisingly full sounding for a concert size body. The Sapele is nice and bright and warm. The Spruce top has great projection.
Features
Love the Gotoh tuners and the 1 3/4" nut width.
Ease of Use
Great action...very easy to play - like butter
Quality
Very well made... fit and finish is astounding.
Value
Really, an awesome value.
Manufacturer Support
Awesome. Garth from their repair department took care of getting the neck sanded down a little more smoothly for me... it was a quick and painless process to send the guitar in. I got it back quickly, and I had constant email communication from Breedlove on the status of things. Couldn't have been better.
The Wow Factor
Yep... I want to keep it, and plan on doing so.
