Just to let you guys know abit more about how Breedlove is able to get its trademark signature tone - the JLD Bridge Truss system. Info taken from here.
All Breedlove Custom Shop steel-string guitars (except for the Revival Series), Pro Series and Atlas Series guitars use the JLD Bridge Truss system. This device is a cantilevered truss that helps to counterbalance string tension at the bridge, creating a relaxed top and improved structural integrity. This allows us to brace our tops in a very progressive way, with a focus on realizing the full acoustic potential of the top. A relaxed top provides maximal wavelength response, and a synergy is created by our use of a graduated top thickness, balanced scalloped bracing, and a pinless bridge in combination with the bridge truss system. This gives our guitars the distinctive and highly dynamic “Breedlove Sound”, with a piano-like bass and a remarkably well-balanced tone suitable for a broad variety of musical styles.

And it DOES produce a great, rich sound - at least on my Atlas Series Spruce and Rosewood Dreadnought. I have played many class guitars and this one is right up there with the best of them. Well done Breedlove.
