Location: Phoenix AZ | Went to GC Tempe AZ on Saturday and was blown away that about 1/3 of their acoustic room was now taken over by Breedlove. Anyone seen this in other GC's ???

Location: Houston, Texas | Are these the Korean made ones? A local Mom&Pop store carries them and I've been really quite impressed with their sound and playability. The workmanship is good but they do seem to lack some attention to detail. |

Location: Cicero, NY | In the Syracuse acoustic room (the higher end room, that is), it's a couple of Gibsons, one or two Tak's, 6-7 Martin's and about 15 very average sounding Taylor's. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was in our GC Friday night. They used to have the Breedloves front and center, but moved them to the back. They have a bunch of low end Martins they are trying to push. Only had a couple of US made Ovations. |

Location: chicago | Yeah, a lot of Breedloves in the chicago area GC they are nice but pricey with a very distinct low end sound to them that im not that crazy about, the gc I go to also had a rainsong 12 string that was single handedly the best sounding and easiest to play twelver EVER!NICE!

Have to check our local GC and see what they've got. |

Location: SoCal | In my ever so humble opinion, most Larrives and Breedloves, are much better guitars than Taylors, in the same price range. I'd probably include Guilds with the L's & B's as well.... |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | My local GC has their "special" guitars in a humidified room that is about 15 x 8. One wall is Taylor, one is Martin and the 3rd wall and floor is mostly Breedloves.
The Atlas is a great sounding guitar for the money. I was not equally impressed by their high end $2500- $4000 guitars/ |

Location: East Tennessee | My last visit I noticed more Breedloves than previous visits. Maybe 3-4 and more of the low end Martins,(OOOM & OOOX1) than before. I was trying out an acoustic amp so I went straight for a used Balledeer. The kid in the acoustic room just gave me a blank look. :D |

Location: CT | Harmony Central has a lot of bad things to say about the imports, with questionable fit & finish and uninspired tone. Lots of people love the USA ones though. At first I didn't realize they made them overseas. It's easy to differentiate them by the different headstock shape and location of the logo. I wonder how long 'till Taylor starts up an overseas plant. |

I have yet to read an objective review there.
It's either some yahoo that spent a shit a sh!tload of money on something and writes a glowing review to justify his/her purchase, or it's some asswipe that's a wannabe movie-critic and trashes a product just for the sake of doing so . . . |

Location: Upper Left USA | In my youth (three years ago) I posted one or two of those "better-n-fresh-baked-bread" reviews on the Hormoney site only to find that on three occasions someone listed my Ovations for sale at discount prices.
Internet, bah! |

Location: SoCal | Interesting. I went to the link I normally go to and couldn't find them. Nice to know they're still up.
And if anybody can figure out what I'm normally talking about, can they please let me know? |

i posted a review about a breedlove i bought from a mom and pop local store a year or so back... it was indeed a glowing review but this particular instrument has proven worthy of such. i have been playing guitar since 1971 and have had and still own several high end instruments such as my gibson LP goldtop deluxe, 1969, a guild F-48, a couple of O's including a pretty sweet breadwinner... the AC25/SR+ was purchased for just under $600 with hardshell case. so i dont think i overpaid by too much... either way when i pick this instrument up and begin to play, it makes me want to sing... it fits me, sounds as i like my guitars to sound and has not let me down yet on a gig... consider me to be an asswipe or a yahoo, i could care less. your perceptions do not define me... personally i've always figured i was just another musician trying to scratch out a living doing what he loves... thanks. |
