Body Shape

The Breedlove Dreadnought is slightly more rounded than traditional dreadnoughts, producing beautifully full, punchy, and articulate tones. The Dreadnought appeals to players inspired by the familiarity of a dreadnought, who are looking for nuance and richness from their instrument. The Breedlove Dreadnought projects well, so it excels in an ensemble, and yet retains the refinement needed for vocal accompaniment.

Top Wood

Sitka spruce is grown in the Pacific Northwest, and has been the primary top wood for U.S.A. instruments for many decades. It is strong and light with extended harmonic content, and nearly equals the power of Adirondack.

Back and Side Wood

Sapele is similar both visually and tonally to dense mahogany, but both darker and harder, giving it a strong visual presence and a bit more upper-harmonic content and low-end clarity. It's a good choice for many sizes and shapes, and works well for strumming and fingerstyle.

Electronics

The Fishman ISYS 201 read more Onboard Preamp System provides maximum value in a small footprint. The system features volume, tone shaping, and phase controls; a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup, low-profile control knobs, low-battery indicator and combination battery box and output jack.

Aesthetic Appointments

Lustrous full-gloss finish, pinless Breedlove bridge and black binding: an attractive package that will make you proud to play this guitar.

I shopped around a long time before buying this guitar... I found no other guitar close to the quality of this guitar in this price range. Ive been playing going on 25 years and have seen many fads and fashions come and go in the guitar industry but quality construction, good clear, rich tone and playability never go out of style. You get all of that plus a great classy looking guitar at a price real people can afford. I really dig the tuners on this guitar and the pin-less bridge is absolutely one of the best new features Ive seen on an acoustic guitar in a long time! I did lower the action a bit on mine but that is simply personal taste... it played good right out of the box. Great looks, construction, rock solid tuning, beautiful tone plugged and unplugged... you will not be disappointed in this guitar
