Does anyone know what’s going on with Breedlove?

Yep. Me too.......

I think it used to breedloveguitars.com, but a year or more ago it was changed to breedlovemusic.com. And it works fine. Breedlove is alive and well.

Not for everyone.

(That's the one I tried today. Tried your link too.)

Hm...interesting. I never realized that sites could go down regionally. or selectively, or whatever it is. Must be about the servers? In any case, it does seem Breedlove is fine. I clicked through several pages on the site and every click took me in further.

They're alive and well. The website is working fine for me. They just released a bunch of new 2018 models (the Concertina body is new for 2018 and offered in both US and import models).

Pops right up, no issues.

Looks as if Breedlove doesn't love us any more, Todd.

I've tried the site direct, through the links that EZK123 posted, through the Two Old Hippies web site and every link to Breedlove returns that same "disabled" message.

They'll get it straightened out. Remember, they're on the west coast so they had a 3 hour delay in getting to the issue compared to those of us on the east coast.

The link and the site worked for me. I woulda told you sooner but I had to build a custom and enter the contest !

They probably just switched to a new host. It can take 24+ hours for all the new DNS info to propagate, during which time you'd expect some success and some failure reaching a site.

This is the most likely answer. Of course, as someone who does IT engineering for a living, I'd be curious to know if the people having issues are all using the same internet provider.

I'm not having any problem bringing the site up.

I am used to Breedlove completely changing their business model, guitar model series, and guitar offerings every Tuesday.

They are a day early this week.

I all seriousness I gave up on trying to figure out what Breedlove was doing at any one time a long time ago. If you see a Breed you like, buy it before they change it.

I live in Bend, Oregon where Breedlove was until it was swallowed up by a volcano. But I am sure it will resurrect itself soon as it reshapes itself each month, until the volcano thing happened.
Seriously, its a great company that gets no respect. They build great guitars by great people who love what they do.

I can’t believe how fast half this group runs with total rumors. Bedell / Breedlove is doing fine.

A local music store has advised me that Breedlove have stopped selling their low end guitars to them. Interesting that from beginning as competitors to Martins/Taylors, they went to mass producing low end guitars, and then now they are exiting the low end market again.
