For Sale Or Trade: Breedlove Masterclass Custom CM Redwood/Cocobolo Masterclass of Masterclass!

[61reissue]

Deal Pending!!

Anyway, I have just been offered and accepted my dream job(which I am just coming to grips with thison its own) but I am going to be doing a whole lot of traveling to different parts of the world for the next 2 years. Hot, cold, wet and dry and I thing now is the time for a jump back into the carbon world! Either way I have a few weeks to prepare and sadly(well maybe not!) my guitar popped in my head 1st..lol.

In return I am now selling this ridiculous Breedlove Masterclass Custom CM that I recently got. Not a whole lot I can say but this is an incredible guitar. A few on this board are familiar with this and will surely attest to it's remarkable beauty and sound. The guitar is in excellent condition and within the last week was professionally set up, polished and buffed and I installed a Colosi ebony end pin plug. Only things condition wise to mention is a slight finish check on the back which is barely noticeable(too a while just to get it in the pic) and some discoloration in the bloodwood binding. Beyond that it's a 2011 build that looks like it has seen very little play at all. I have heard that 2 of these were built, which is a 10K build now btw, and one was a gift for the president of Guitar Center. This is hearsay, but hearsay from a very cool and very respected member of this forum. Includes the upgraded case for the masterclass guitars(big huge thing) and will throw in the new humidification system I just purchased as well.

I am looking for $3500 shipped and insured in the lower 48 OR trade for an Emerald of McPherson Carbon with some $$ coming my way as well.

Here are the specs straight form an email I got from the good folks at Breedlove..btw the last pic is lint and not an imperfection. I tried to show the binding and guess there was some lint I did not notice

Well,since it had a Baggs VTC in it as one point in its life and is already drilled for the jack(hence the Colosi Plug)...I imagine it would be about as easy as it gets!!

As a former owner of this one...I’m here to tell you that it is freakin’ awesome!!! If I had the cash it would be headed to Asheville. This body shape which is almost all lower bout makes it the most full sounding guitar I’ve played. Handle drop tunings like a champ!!! Stunning to look at...this one is as good as any boutique guitar out there. GLWS

Thanks Jeff, she is an absolute visual stunner and one of, if not, the best finger style guitars I have ever played. I'm not sure about the physics of the design but it's a cannon too!

But you already know this

Your Custom CM is gorgeous! I have a Masterclass Pacific that is both sonically and visually beautiful. Breedlove's Masterclass series guitars are truly wonderful instruments. The new owner will be delighted. GLWS

[Stevien]

Agreed. I have the Northwest Classic. Stunning in all areas!

What an absolute beauty queen. That cocobolo on the back is top of the charts. Every detail is magic! And for basically free, for what it is.... how I drool!

This thing is long gone - correct?

Beautiful CM. I have the Cedar/Walnut version of this one that will I will never let go.
