hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

Hi, your description says adirondack top, but the label in your pictures says sitka spruce...are the other listed specs all accurate? (the tuners don't look like waverlys to me in the pictures, but I may be wrong). thanks

these are fantastic guitars, especially if signed by Jayson Bowerman. They are essentially built by him in the custom shop, but you get a much better price since he was using Breedlove's shop and salary at the time. It would cost a great deal more today now he's on his own. He was trained in his youth by Larry Breedlove and today, no offense, I'd take one of his any day over an R Taylor which he'd been involved in.

the description is for a deluxe revival, which this is not, it's a revival but not deluxe where another grand gets you an adi top and waverlies.

you can find many posts on these where guys had to choose them for tone and playability over Martins and SCGC OMPW's....usually much to their surprise.

I don't know the seller and have no dog in the race.
The J bowermans and square Hstocks can only be had through the builder nowadays at 3 times the cost. Others without the signature may or may not be as good in my experience. His guitars hang with or exceed the most reputable builds out there IMO.

hope that helps and good luck in your sale. Had to write this as it brought back the remorse of selling a cocobolo one like this, one of very few regrets in revolving the collection. Would buy that one back if ever I got the chance. two times quick. My personal OMPW was great, the BL OM, better. My Martin OM's, no contest, the breedlove.

These are a price gift to the used market due to the business and marketing flounderings of Breedlove management.

Sorry to drone on if you're still reading.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi, thanks for the kind response. good read.

my apologies too. I bought the guitar a while back used, and the the fellow said it was masterclass. When I grabbed the spec's I assumed it was thus, so I just copied them here. I have updated the details.

Curious as I can't tell from the photos, is the signature j bowerman?
