I've played a few of these. They all had the same kinda sound to me. Bright, scooped and thunky bottom end. Pretty good strummer but all in all, waaaaaaaay over priced. You can get a Lowden for the price of a Breedlove and you can get 2-3 Blueridges for a guitar that sounds the same in Breedlove. They look nice and carry a pompous name but that's all they're worth in my catalog.
