This Guitar has tons of Features even the big boys (Taylor, Martin...ETC) dont have, Like an onboard tuner
Solid Sitka Spruce Top Solid Rosewood back makes this guitar sound great.
Body Style is a grand auditorium Fells really nice. Really a fast neck with a Rosewood fingerboard. Comes with a Breedlove Hardshell Case. This Guitar was made in 2008 Crafted in Korea QC in Oregon.
It has a new LR baggs Pickup + EQ made specifically for this guitar.
Sound
:
9
The Sound is almost as good as the Taylor 914CE Not quite but......it is $3000 less than the Taylor ;) It has a bright, punchy, full sound. Not as rich as my Taylor 714CE but the 714 is a cedar top not spruce.
The only thing that could be better about it is that it could be a tad louder, But if you really want a loud guitar unplugger get a jumbo or dreadnaught.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The Set-up on the breedloves are really good, better than most other brands including Taylor. Intonation is spot on, There are no flaws whatsover it looks like a $4000 Guitar with abalone around the sound hole and the border it looks like The 914. I love the Cutaway on this guitar it is very unique along with the headstock and the Breedlove Logo.
Reliability/Durability

I have only had the Guitar for a short time but from what time I have used it, it seems very durable. The Grover mini tuners are great and grover is great so.....Finish is great, strap buttons great,I would never gig without a backup but if I did i would feel safe with this guitar.

I was looking for another backup in the $1000.00 Price range, the brands I was looking at includes Alvarez, Martin (Yuck Still hate them), Parkwood, Yamaha, Taylor, Epiphone, Seagull and Takamine. I kept coming back to the breedlove! I was looking for a backup now the Taylor may become the backup! Please dont Buy the Taylor 100 or 200 series those guitars are not true Taylor Quality!! Please Consider Breedlove if you are looking for a guitar in the $1000.00 Price range. if you have $4000.00 to spend the 914CE or any 900 series is the best out there, one day I will have to buy one.
I have been playing 10+ years, I own three guitars now including the Breedlove(I have sold so many nice guitars, dont ever get rid of your gear it will haunt you FOREVER!) I have a Taylor 714CE, a Michael Kelly Valor Limited, and now the Breedlove. Now I am looking to get the breedlove C25 Passport!
If this Guitar was stolen are lost first I would fall on the floor and cry like a baby then go right back to Guitar center and buy another one! I bought it on sale @ 999.98 MSRP Plus %15 off Guitar center was having a sale on all Breedloves and Taylors.
