Breedlove Guitars Focus Maple D

Heavy glossed front back and sides. Spruce top with flamed maple back and sides. Gotoh tuners, ebony fingerboard, LR Baggs dual element pickups. The pickup controls are located on the edge of the soundhole. That took a day or two to get used to, but I really appreciate the fact that they did not have to cut into the guitar. Built in Breedlove's custom shop. Comes with a nice, heavy duty case. I give it a perfect rating because it has everything an acoustic needs.

The sound is wonderful. I bought this guitar after not really looking for a guitar at all. I walked in a store and fell in love with it. I play praise and worship music mostly. I also do a lot of fingerstyle- James Taylor, Jim Croce, etc. This fits perfect. The best way I can describe it is "lush". It's rich. Lots of bottom end with bell-like highs.

I give the factory set up a crappy rating. I'd say a 5. It did not have a good set up in the store. Very high action. I took it and got it set up after I got it. Now it's a 10. No fret buzz to speak of. Plays well.

For rating this I compromised between the factory set up and the now set up.

The guitar has never once failed me. I feel comfortable taking it to play wherever I need to. My only worry is scratching it, as it is a beatiful guitar. I take good care of my stuff and I don't see this guitar ever being anything less than perfect.

No experience with them at all.

I have had the guitar for over a year. I love it. I currently have a Rainsong DR1000 and I love it. This guitar is my go to for a nice, warm, soothing sound. I love it. Best acoustic I have owned. I have had a Takamine, Taylor, Larivee, Rainsong and a couple of others. By far, this is the nicest.

If it were stolen, I would consider getting this guitar again. The only thing that I could think that would take its place is maybe a Lowden.

I have no issues with this guitar whatsoever. Not a single complaint.

This is a high gloss flame maple back and sides with tight sitka spruce top. Ebony asymetric bridge, focus neck inlay on ebony fretboard. Dreadnought cutaway with LR Baggs dual element pickup, Gotoh 381 tuners upgraded to mini 510's gold with black buttons. Comes with black binding and bwbwb purfling. Comes with the bridge truss system, I am now a believer.

Rings like a bell with clear seperation and best sustain I have ever heard. Deep but not boomy bass and clear sparkling highs. It fingerpicks great for a dread and flatpicks even better.

Pickguard was slightly off, other than that perfect and clean.

been playing for about 40 years,mostly for worship bands and homemeetings. Have owned Lowden, Larrivee, PRS, and Taylor, Takamine Nashville etc. This is the nicest, prettiest, greatest guitar I have ever owned. Would highly recommend.
