Okay, I heard good things about an all walnut Breedlove Concertina a friend of mine had, and when I saw this thing, I just couldn't resist. It had a good return policy so ordered it without playing it . . . Whoooo am I happy I did. This thing sounds and plays phenomenal. It sounds far larger than it is and maybe it's just my expectations, but the sound is more akin to what I'd expect from a say . . Adirondack maybe? A little stiff, but does NOT break up like I've heard from so many small body guitars. Pardon me for using the sellers photos, lighting sucks here today for getting my own.
