Feature:
Breedlove is kind enough to include a wrench to adjust the tension on the deep C shaped neck. It's more like a Taylor neck than a Martin one and might take some time to feel out. That's not a criticizm, it's just might be different from what some players are used to.
Quality:
This is also a very pretty guitar. The abalone binding on the body is very tastefully done and the inlays on the neck are gorgeous and well done. All the appointments on this guitar are understated, dignified, and look professional.
Value:
For the money, I don't think there's anything that's close to this instrument. The cosmetics, the electronics, the workmanship, and, of course, the tone. This a tone machine right out of the box, and I'm betting in 10 years, once it's really broken in, it will really shine.
Sound:
I am impressed by the open lively and well balanced sound of this guitar.It sparkles on fingerpicking and compresses nicely when flatpicked hard. I play with an acoustic blues band,a bluegrass band,and solo gigs and it sounds great in each situation,with the exeption of bottleneck playing due to its low action. This can be remedied to a degree by adjusting the neck. Aside from that quibble, rosewood and spruce is always a winning combo, and tossing in a good sounding pick up system is a nice surprise at this price.
