The story I hear is that Tom Bedell decided that everything with his name on it was going to be top class made in America stuff after he bought Breedlove. So he "threw all the old Chines made Bedells off the back of the truck".
Regardless of name or price they were fantastic. One cedar over rosewood dread in particular sparked my love affair with this combination.

You're right on about their cedar/rosewood, because of you I got one too, and it's a perfect little guitar! Also got one of his Parlour Coffee House/US models, excellent work!
