First, a note on ZZounds. This will obviously not be the case for everyone, but I received the guitar 1 day after ordering with free shipping. About the guitar... I have never seen or played a Breedlove before, but I'm sold. I spent a year or two eyeing various 12-strings to replace one I had given away many years ago. I finally got around to pulling the trigger and I've had it for over a week. Played for a few hours. I'm used to getting cheaper Korean guitars, where upon receipt I won't even attempt to play it and instead will remove the strings and douse the neck in lemon oil and scrub out any gunk or fretboard die. Then use some steel wool on the frets, etc. Eventually put new strings on it, play with the action, then finally get to playing it. But with this Breedlove... it was already in playing shape. Supposedly the QA is done in Oregon, and it's set up before shipping to a distributor. That definitely appeared to be the case! It has great stock strings (Supposedly D'Addario), no need for messing with the tress rod. Not a buzz from any fret. Very comfortable, clean, and no tiny visual defects that I can see. The gig bag is great, it has some rigitiy and opens wide enough so you aren't fighting to get it in the bag without scraping it against the zipper. The built-in tuner is easy to see (it's backlit) and is incredibly helpful especially with the quantity of strings. It sounds great and feels great to play. I have not plugged it in to any amplifier. It's a great price for a quality guitar. Not one regret.

I play a Taylor Koa K24 for my primary acoustic guitar and I had a preconceived idea that this would not be a quality instrument. I was very wrong. The sound is really nice and the quality seems to be excellent. The setup is really good right out of the box and the tuner was a pleasant surprise. I finally had a chance to plug it in this morning using my Fender Acoustic amp and the sound was nothing short of amazing. I love this guitar! The electronics are also very high quality. I was deciding between this and a Martin and for the price, I think I made a wise choice.

I found the Breedlove Solo Concert 12 to meet all my expectations. I play music at home and in churches and this guitar does what i hoped it would do. It has a sweet sound to many of the songs i play. It has a beautiful finish and set up well. I did have to set the strings up a tad for one was ringing on the first fret but no big deal. ZZounds were terrific in their customer service and the shipping of this guitar. i would recommend this guitar and company to purchase your next guitar
