dave has one. therefore everyone should.

I've only played one, and I love it but it was too expensive. They seem like very good guitars though.

My girlfriend has one and I play it alot. It was around 900 dollars. It's not a Martin or Taylor sound, but it's probably the best sounding guitar that you can get for that reasonable of a price.

My friend has an all walnut C25... It's the best guitar I've ever heard. New it costs $5k, he bought it used on ebay for $2k.

Yeah, I laughed at him - until I heard the guitar.

Hey, I just recently bought a lower-end model, the AD200 (?) i beleive, and i love it. It plays and sounds great, and the action is nice (even though I've yet to have it set up). Bought it for $500, upgraded from a crappy Washburn and highly reccomend the line if this is the cheapest model.

i went to guitar center yesterday and played some breedloves...LOVED em...they seriously outpreform some guitars of twice the price...for 750 bucks you get A LOT, great tone, feel, action, it was a little heavier but i think that can be a good thing at times, just seems more quality than a light cheepee guitar. i believe im getting it within the next couple of days. stay tuned :D

haha true, I know what you mean. some guitars don't have that solid feel, and it really throws me off.

I have heard excellent things about them, but when I was shopping for what ended up being my new Larrivee, I tried a Breedlove at guitar center and I couldn't have been more displeased. I guess there is one in every bunch. My $160 laminate Fender had more bass.
