Default NGD!

After selling my early Koa CM and immediately missing it, luck would have it the buyer was selling his more recent Walnut one so I jumped on it. With 2 young kids and most of my playing happening at night, the fullness of the Breedlove sound at lower volumes just cannot be beat. Plus they look crazy cool (thanks Bryan)! This one is most likely going to stick around a while!

There are parts I love (timbers, inlays and binding) and parts that hurt my eyes (soft curves vs sharp points).. but overall it looks great, nice one.

Congratulations - very stylish, and beautiful woods. Walnut makes for such a nice sound.

And nice to see someone that likes full tone without full volume.

Enjoy!

Congrats and HNGD! Love those inlays, but man, that shape is pretty radical!

I usually prefer a very traditional looking guitar (martin, gibson) but for whatever reason these Breedloves just do it for me. Love the aesthetic and the playability. Congrats!

Thanks all! While not a loud guitar (I have my Martins for that), the walnut/cedar combo sounds great. The bridge doctor lessens the pull on the graduated top and allows it to vibrate much like a thicker soundboard. Really liking this one!
