• Beautiful Guitar

  
  As reviewed by Ian Sparks on 5/20/2013

  I have had this guitar for a few weeks now and I love it! It is a beautiful guitar with a beautiful sound. I love the abalone on the top and the diamond shaped inlays on the neck. The neck has a great feel with a satin finish. The guitar was set up almost perfectly right out of the box with low action. The OM body is very comfortable while playing, just a little bit heavy. The solid rosewood back gives this guitar a very warm sound, yet still balanced and not too bass heavy. Also, the engelmann spruce top gives a very clear, punchy sound. The build quality is amazing, much nicer than the Taylor 210ce that I had previously owned. The onboard tuner is AWESOME, one of the coolest I have seen. I have not had the chance to plug in yet so I cannot comment on the preamp or electrics. The case that is included is great. The breedlove came with D'Addario strings which I did not like very much because they were difficult to play, but I replace these with elixr strings and the guitar now sounds even better. I mostly play finger style, and I think that this guitar is perfect for that. It has great projection and is loud. My dream guitar would be an OM body Martin. However, the entry level Martin guitars in this price range (all that I could afford) are ugly in my opinion, so this guitar is a great alternative for the price. All in all, this is an extremely beautiful guitar with a great feel and a great sound. If you are looking for a guitar in this price range, I would recommend Breedlove over similarly priced Taylors and Martins.
