Is it just me or does this cutaway guitar look very tiny compared to other guitars with the same body...It almost looks like a youth guitar or something o.o I'm really interested in this one but I'd like guitar that doesn't seem so tiny...for comfort and bass purposes. Can someone clarify please.
I played the hell out of one of these at guitar center a few days ago (actually, I played until I developed a blister on my thumb...doh!) The only thing I was even remotely concerned with was that the guitar simply isn't very loud compared to some of the others I played. I think it has something to do with cedar in general, but then again, it's not like GC is a quiet environment. Overall it's fantastic and I'm going to get one!
My Breedlove is so much more versatile than a Taylor in the same price range. Put Nanoweb Elixirs on it and it's a bright as a Taylor. Put anything else on it and it's warmer. But, plug it in and you've got yourself an amazing performer live or in the recording studio. I'd recommend the Rosewood C25 version for around $1000.
Breedloves are known to have a great bass response, due to the bridge design and bracing system. Fuller, richer acoustic sound than a Taylor in my opinion, though plugged in a Taylor expression system is hard to beat. However, a good aftermarket LR Baggs I-Beam system will come awfully close, some say better.
Its definitely more of a progressive acoustic, a la Taylor. Think the same idea as a GA Taylor, really good for recording and fingerstyle, but very well priced but even the smallest Breedlove guitars can be used for strumming and rhythm playing. If you want an example, search for "C25/ SR glimmer of hope" and watch the video. Hard to believe that its a 1000$ instrument.
hey to help answer your question breedlove guitars are more of a warmer sounding guitar. Also if you put nylon strings on it you can get a huge warm and more of a bassy sound and it sounds great.

Great video. Do you think this guitar is comparable to a high-end Taylor or Martin?

Whats the difference between a C25/CR and a C250/CM?
drumsjackson 2 years ago
I think the C250s are from the Atlas series. CM probably stands for Cedar and Mahogany.

Maybe I am looking at the wrong guitar, but I can't find one of these for less than $1495...where did you find it for $1000??

Nope....haven't been around any "myrtlewood" guitars that I know of. Sorry.

Cedar is a hardwood, and the Indian Rosewood is known for being more "bright" than say, a Mahogany.
So they kinda counter-balance each other, IMHO, and it sounds "warm" to me, over all.
Age and regular playing of a guitar, brings out its voice too. If it just sits in its case, it won't develop.
I believe, based on the woods involved, that it will, over time, have a closer depth to a Martin, than say a Taylor would, over time.

@nutmegger1957 No, cedar is a softwood. Almost all acoustic guitar tops are softwood and cedar is one of the softest of them all.
