Wasn't meant as a knock, just that it looks different than a "traditional" Breedlove.

I am not sure what to think about all of the different headstocks. For the Revival series, it makes sense to have the straight one. The wavy one ... not sure what to make of that one. Both of mine have the triangular one, which I find very visually appealing, in addtion to any practical benefits. |

Currently, the imports are the Solo, Studio and Stage series. The domestics are the Oregon, Premier, Legacy, Master Class and Exotic. There are not a whole lot of visual distinctions between imports and domestic instruments. That might be something else I would advocate for. But what the heck do I know about it? Both of my Breedloves are the entry level American-made products, and I traded in Larrivee 03 series guitars on each one. I think this is the part of the market where Breedlove really shines. Once you get into the $2,500 and up category, there are more better options, including stuff like the Martin OM21. But at this price point of about a grand to $1,500, you might get a Martin like the GPCPA4 with various components made out of cardboard and epoxy or something like that -- and may be made in Mexico. Don't get me wrong. There are some nice guitars made in Mexico, and at the same time US or even Canadian guitars can command a premium due to lower volumes and the perception that manufacturers source their lower-end models from other locales. In the intermediate term, Breedlove will probably give Larrivee, which I also think very highly of, a good run for their money. |

One suggestion. When you post the pics, and they are nice, please post model #'s and USA or Import so the uniformed, like me, know what we're looking at.
Thanks. |

I'd hate to see you in trouble at home, so I forced myself to talk to Ted about it this morning. That little beauty should be arriving at my office later this week Cheers, Mark |

How would you characterize the sonic contribution of that redwood top? I have been intrigued by Redwood, although Spruce does the job pretty well for someone of my humble needs. |

The most responsive guitar I ever played was a Breelove, Cedar over Mahogany, master class I believe. a light strum and you could feel it through the whole body.

The overall tone in combo with the ziricote is somewhat complex in the overtones. And it has an amazing amount of low end for a shallow small concert bodied guitar . It presents a very different sound from my Taylor 810 ce. Also I go against the norm somewhat as it is billed as an excellent finger style instrument and no doubt it is, but I play flat pic and IMO it is superb for that as well.
