I received this guitar yesterday in a lefty model. It's a very sleek looking guitar in that it has old world style mixed with some newer designs like the string thru bridge system and the body cut away. Nicely built and finished. I will say I gave it a low score for it's features meaning the electronics. All the online demo's I have seen show this with a Fishman style system, accessible battery compartment, USB out, 3 band EQ and an onboard tuner. It has none of that. They replaced the Fishman with this LR Baggs EAS piezo which gives you an input jack/strap button, a single volume control inside the soundhole and the 9v battery pack velcro'd inside of the soundhole as well so you have to relieve the string tension to get your hand in to it to change your battery. I am going to keep it but purchased this party because of the online videos I had seen with the Fishman system. It does say what type of electronics it has but I had assumed it was simply just another manufacturers take on the same thing to save Breedlove some money maybe? Well they definitely saved money on this new system. All in all it plays well, stays in tune and is fairly well intonated right out of the box. I'd recommend this to anyone of many playing levels as long as you dont mind the annoying battery change issue. For beginners this might be a problem when tuning a guitar is sometimes a major accomplishment then having to untune it because you forgot to unplug it one night and it drained your battery. That is up to you.
