The Korean Breedlove Atlas guitars are really value for money but the USA Breedloves are the real deal. Everything about the USA Breedlove oozes a much higher level of workmanship and refinement.
Here, we have a NOS (new old stock) USA Breedlove Premier D25 with highly figured Mahogany back/sides. The tone is clear and resonant with long-ringing sustain and flowing harmonic overtones. Bass response gives a solid thump when digged in and makes it a flatpicker or bluegrass player's dream guitar. The tonal complexity when playing individual notes is quite different from that of a Goodall tone and it handles fingerstyle very well too. Subtle nuances can be coaxed effortlessly out of the D25, even though it is a dread body. The responsive top coupled with the very comfortable neck profile and easy playability of the guitar makes this every guitarist's dream.
Retails for USD$4599.
