SOLD - Breedlove Legacy Concert - Sinker Redwood, Anthem, Mint!
 
Sold - thanks all! Selling my Breedlove Legacy Concert which combines a solid, salvaged Sinker Redwood top with premium East Indian Rosewood back and sides plus Anthem TRU-MIC electronics and deluxe Breedlove hard case. This guitar is in absolutely mint condition, like new in every way without a scratch or a ding anywhere. Plays and sounds amazing with perfect action and intonation everywhere up and down the fingerboard. I live here in Oregon and have a friend who works at the factory in Bend and I got to pick and choose between a number of examples of this and other models, and this one stood out for tone, balance and playability. I play exclusively fingerstyle in multiple tunings and was looking particularly for warmth and sustain with clarity and note separation in all registers, and this guitar has all of that in spades. 25.5" scale length and 1.75 nut width with standard Breedlove Concert dimensions throughout.

Asking xxxxx shipped to anywhere in the Continental US.

Here's a review from "Guitar Player" and a link to a soundclip:

"I tuned up the Legacy with the silky-smooth Gotoh machines, picked a couple of fretted notes and let them ring against some open strings, and it was immediately apparent that this guitar has “it.” That 3-dimensional otherness that separates amazing instruments from good ones. The tone is balanced and sweet, with superb clarity from string to string. It exhibits great dynamics when strummed, but might be even better suited for fingerpicking, thanks to the string spacing afforded by the relatively wide, flat neck. Hybrid-picked passages with hammer-ons and pull-offs have a real pianistic quality that is just plain delicious. The Legacy’s easy action also makes big barre chords and long stretches a breeze.

While the Legacy Concert performs beautifully in the studio, it’s also a great choice for a gigging acoustic because of the generous inclusion of a second strap button and the onboard LR Baggs Anthem TRU-MIC system. Combining a condenser mic with Baggs’ Element undersaddle pickup, the Anthem brings out all the Legacy’s acoustic goodness with surprising feedback rejection for a mic-based setup. I was able to get plenty loud through both acoustic and electric amps, and the tone stayed sweet and musical. Chords rang out with authority and speedy flatpicked passages sounded great as well, even way up the neck, which I was able to access easily with the sloping cutaway.

This is obviously not an inexpensive guitar, but Breedlove definitely delivers the quality that the price tag demands. The Legacy has a hip, modern look and sound and is not trying to duplicate what has already been done. This guitar is its own thing, and it’s a beautiful thing at that."

I had one of these that I tried at home from an Amazon purchase. I thought it is an amazing guitar. My only problem was that I appear to be sensitive to the top Redwood ( started sneezing all the time that I played it) and I found a used Masterclass Breedlove at a nearby store that won me over.

The sustain and note clarity on the Legacy I tried was amazing. For the asking price this is a great instrument.

Wow, I've never heard of a guitar making someone sneeze before! But thanks for the post, it is an amazing instrument.

I definitely don't feel this is an issue for the guitar. Mine was just very freshly built and had a wonderful but very strong redwood smell and I am unfortunately allergic to some things like that.
