Breedlove USA Concertina E Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural


Description
Knowing sound frequencies travel most efficiently through lighter-weight materials, Breedlove designed the USA guitar series to be their lightest, most alive instruments. With the development of the USA series, Breedlove has crafted their thinnest finish—just 5 mils on top and 2 mils on the back sides. Binding and decoration have also been minimized. Breedlove sanded their tops thinner and reduced the soundhole size to achieve their targeted fundamental resonance. All the woods are salvaged or individually harvested. Breedlove does not use clear-cut trees. Handcrafted in Bend, Oregon, each guitar includes factory-installed L.R. Baggs EAS electronics and a deluxe Breedlove hardshell case.

My son's first American made Breedlove. Lovely sound which gets only better over time. Great guitar for playing in the house. From the other reviews it looks like they expected a concert guitar in a smaller package. This guitar is great for the right setting. My boy also has a Breedlove concert guitar for bigger venues where the louder volume is more appropriate .
It was ok

The body has a very nice satin finish and fits well in your lap. Comfortable neck and felt very playable. Just didn't wow me though. Restrung with silk wrapped string but just didn't sound as complex as I'd hoped. The frets weren't as finished as my Taylor big baby and the nut stuck out beyond the neck and was sharp. The price point seems high for the finish you get. The sound probably would improve with time but just wasn't willing to risk it.
Not for me, go play one first.

I just don't like this guitar. First off it was not a decent piece of Mahogany they picked out to use. it had four dark marks like the size of a nickel that really stood out to me. But when I played it I was disappointed in the sound, the guitar needed a setup and to be played awhile to open up, but still I just didn't want to risk not liking it after all that.
