Breedlove

Not until you pick up and play a Breedlove yourself will you truly get what I'm on about when I say "Breedlove is an instant classic".

Breedloves history takes you on a journey that reveals its heart. Where other guitars brands make great guitars, Breedlove has set out to "challenge convention and build instruments of tomorrow". Their master luthiers create guitars for self-expression and liberation through music. In fewer arty words, it's for original players that value the difference. Breedlove has a distinctly crafted sound and looks to boot. 

Breedlove uses master craftsmen. Read about them here. The makers are naturals. They're passionate and dedicated to the Breedlove sound (which comes from the quality). Features like the pinless bridge look modern and give a clearer sound through not drilling holes in the top. No holes allow the sound to vibrate easier. Another example is the neck has a simple-to-adjust single truss rod with a narrower profile for more comfortable playing. The list goes on.

The Breedlove sound comes from extensive prototyping. The result is a technical bridge truss system that takes the pressure off the guitar top. They make up for bass and treble through mixing up the thickness of the woods used in the guitars. The craftsmen have worked to balance tones through the design and materials. In simple terms, there's some harmonious stuff going on in there. It works. Explore the range from a beginners Passport to a Kim Breedlove Signature Master Class and listen carefully. It's the Breedlove sound.

Materials and design wise there is a lot to admire. The guitars have features and details that speak of boutique craftsmanship. Nothing gimmicky, but enough to let you know every detail is accounted for. For example, the asymmetrical headstock is not just for looks. Found on the CM, Concert, Auditorium and 12 String body shapes, it is designed to keep each string in a straight line from the nut to the bridge pin. The design removes stress. It makes tuning pure, and it makes alternate tuning uncomplicated.
