Default FS Great Deal on 2 Breedlove Discover Concert CE Acoustic Electric Sunburst Cutaways

Hi

I have for sale 2 Brand New Breedlove Discovery Concert Cutaway CE Acoustic Electric Guitars with Sunburst finish on top.

These guitars are less than 3 months from being opened and each has been played less than 30 minutes. I did put on new D'addario EJ16 Light PB strings. I bought them for a specific purpose (keeping them to play in my offices) which I did not end up ever getting breaks to do. They have stayed in their gig bags all the time.

My impressions of the guitars:

I am very picky and discerning as far as tone and playability is concerned. These are just my impressions and my opinions.

These guitars strike me as a little deeper than a Taylor grand concert but the body does not feel to me as large as a Taylor grand auditorium. That being said, the tone seems to fit in more along the lines of a Taylor Grand Auditorium in that they have a very powerful strumming response for their sizes but also can articulate finger-style pieces with a good degree of clarity. There is a surprisingly strong bass response. I am not suggesting the tone is comparable to Taylor but am referencing only the size comparisons. Having said that (again my impression only - everyone has their own subjective tastes) - these seem to be in the "Taylor tone" family as opposed to the "Martin or Gibson tone"

The guitars are a great deal for the buck. Visually, they look like much more expensive guitars. The electronics seem to be well regarded (I have not actually tried them). They look and feel much nicer than guitars at this price point. The sound projects very well especially when strummed. The ebony bridge (pinless) really works on these guitars. These really seem to blow the competitors at this price point away.

The action on each is set low. The guitars are extremely playable with true harmonics. Craftmanship and construction are very good.

I am asking $315 for each which includes shipping via UPS ground to the CONUS.

Guitar 1 (ends in 688) pictures: (Please note the guitars are shiny and hard to take pics without reflections. These are only reflections in the shots)
