Nope, they must make a cheaper series. Definitely a breedlove. And it was with the cheaper and mid range guitars. They have their really expensive guitars in a different room.

It sounded much better than the other 2 I played (Guild, Alvarez). I am not really buying it for the name, because I have never really heard of breedlove before. I chose it as a possibility because I liked the sound.

what model alvarez? ( i have an alvarez 12er)

if it beats a guild (top of the line 12ers imo) and an alvarez then get it. (and post pics)

I have had my Epiphone Chet Atkins SST for about a year and a half. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Of course I would rather have the Gibson version, but when you can get 4 Epiphones for the cost of one Gibson, do the math. This has got to be one of the hottest guitars out there.

Chet Atkins guitars kick ass, don't know what you're talking about Ranting Thespian. Nor was that even a relevant comment.
it WILL fit
it is the same guitar just a more affordable version of it.

Breedlove's new lower line ones are actualy very nice. They have gotten really good perfessional reviews recently too. Screw the Epi, get the Breedlove.
