USA Breedlove Revival DR


Finally, our first made-in-USA Breedlove. :p

This is Breedlove's take on the traditional dreadnought. To me, this compares very favorably to Martin's D-28 in all aspects from tone to playability. The low-end is very present on this dread, tight but not overly boomy with great volume and projection. Highs are not sacrificed at all. For fans of the more traditional vintage tone, you will love this guitar. The neck is extremely comfortable and fast.

Even though it's my first time trying the Grover 18:1 Sta-Tite open-back tuners, I have to say I'm extremely impressed with its rock-stable tuning capabilities and of course, the classy look it imparts to the guitar. The hand-rubbed semi-gloss finish is impeccable and allows lots of the grain to show through. Check out the high-res pics of the rosewood grains on the DR.

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. :D
