Beautiful guitar. Set up sucked. Daddario cheese graters. Twice the Breedlove specs on string hight. QC must have been drunk. Even with the crap set up beautiful sound. Took it to my tech who at the time was playing his Taylor 810. Side by side comparison Breedlove did not do bad. It's not a $3000 guitar but it's a helluva guitar for under a grand. After shaving the bridge, adjusting the neck, throwing some elixirs, and a decent case just shy of $900. Lost some bottom end on it but it's fantastic. Zzsounds was excellent, only problem was QC at Breedlove.
