Made In Korea ! Grover Tuners , Solid top / Laminated back and sides. Came with the case that was sugested, guitar was 2" longer than the case.The best part about the guitar was the bracing Inside the soundhole.The guitar Is built like a tank , I mean Its more like a battle ax.I did a review on it and music 123 did not post it because unlike most true companys,they only put up positive feedback so people will buy the Items ! They also had it listed as a top seller and there was none sold go figure.(caveat emptor)I want to thank Harmony central for leting us post our direct opinions.This helps tell truly if an item is worthy !
Sound: 5
Fishman Classic 4 very nice.I played it direct it was boasted with a good solid sound that was ballanced and it projected very well ! unplugged or amped.Had a very bright and clean sound.
Action, Fit, & Finish: 2
The guitar came with some kind of buffing compound on it, I had to clean it.The Finish was Matte which did no justice at all,it did not appeal to me It had such beautiful wood , good coat of gloss would do this guitar nicely.The guitar came out of the case and needed a neck adjustment ! I guess when you think of Breedlove you expect certan things.I guess they go back to the factory for a blessing and then they are shipped out. This one also also came with pits and mars on it.
Reliability/Durability: 5
Built like a tank ! Can be used as a weapon , Boat paddle, ,or if the neck is not adjusted corectly you can use it as a bow to hunt wild boar.I spoke to a guy that sells these local,he said he used to get them in with bowed necks but they have gotten allot better in the past 6 months.I have heard that the real Breedloves sound out standing.For the money I have the Alvarez MC90C on its way these are supposed to be really nice.I will do a writeup on this model also.

Customer Support Very Good ,Good people at the shop.I would have kept this guitar,but due to, no case , matte finish , and the price
they do make a case for it sold seperatly for $139.00. The warranty is a 5 year limited.Mine didnt make the warranty part.
Overall Rating: 4
I have been playing for 20 yrs.I have a total of 15 guitars at any given point.I have compared this guitar to my Yamaha C-40 and the Yamaha gave it a run for the money.

Nylon String - 1 7/8 neck - Laminated Rosewood Back and Sides - solid cedar top - Made in Korea - L.R. Baggs pickup - No case
Sound: 5
I've been playing a Takamine sc132. I play folk/original finger stile. I wanted to try the narrower neck. Anyways, the sound
was just okay. There was a dead/lifelessness to it that made it unengaging. Kind of like playing a jazz box unplugged. Plugged in, the sound was alot better. I think the laminated wood actually lent itself to being electrified. It gave it a kind of compression. If I just played plugged in all the time, I'd keep it. I but I need a strong acoustic sound so I returned the guitar.

The setup and workmanship looked pretty good. These are made in Korea and then setup by BreedLove in the USA.
Reliability/Durability: N/A
did keep it long enough to know

I bought this from music123. Not only deas it not come with a case, but the isn't even the proper BreedLove case sold seperately. I bought the case that was part of the "recomended accessories". It was a classical case and didn't fit the guitar. I think the body size of this guitar would be considered "concert" size. Good luck finding a case. I'm counting this oversight as poor customer service. On both BreedLove's and Music123's part. I bought a case so the guitar would be protected as it travelled across country to me and they knew that was my intention becuae the wrote "w/case" on the BreedLove box...
