Members SurrealMcCoy Posted November 19, 2004 Members Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have a new family member thanks to Dave at Guitar Adoptions! My Breedlove SC20 Custom has arrived! (Sitka/Ziricote) Deep bodied concert w/ Balance inlays. This deep bodied concert beauty is the "best" of two of my favorite combinations.........the deep low end of a vintage Gibson SJ combined with the mid/high end articulate tonal resonance of a contemporary fingerstyle instrument design. You cannot imagine the low end warmth that this guitar produces. I love it! Not only a great fingerstyle player..........but an equal strummer..... The typical Breedlove sweet tone, along with the extra resonance from the pinless bridge design make the dense wood Ziricote sustain for days.........projection is very strong. When I phoned Dave re: this guitar........I was a little apprehensive, as I had sought Dave out last year when I was searching for my Larrive parlor. Even though Dave did offer me the best deal, I went ahead and bought from Elderly as I preferred the wood grain in that guitar (my avatar). I thought that because of that incident, Dave might be a little reluctant to deal with me. I also feared I might get the usual sales pitch (that you get from a lot of dealers)..........after all.........his motto reads: "the guitar of your dreams........the deal of a lifetime".......... Well, guess what......? That's pretty much exactly what I received! Dave not only listened to what my wishes were, but took the time to treat me like an old friend..........along with the willingness of making several guitar comparisons to make sure I was getting exactly the right instrument for me. Although I'm far from being any sort of great player..........I am extremely picky regarding tone. I had found another Breedlove C10 (Redwood/Ziricote shallow concert body) awhile back that came very close to being the instrument I desired. It just seemed to be too dark sounding without the low end I was hoping for. The Sitka top along with the deeper body of the SC20 rounds out what I felt lacking tonewise in the C10. Dave assured me that this guitar would provide me with what I was seeking.............boy, was he dead on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mugglesport Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 Wow, nice. I hope one day to be able to afford a breedlove. I really like the cutouts they do...especially the really sharp ones, and their inlays are second to none. I hope to deal with dave sometime soon...whenever I can get enough expendable cash together Im going to get a Larrivee LV-03R...not quite the same as your guitar...but Im only a 22 year old college student Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kwakatak Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 Congratulations! Someday I'm gonna get me one of those with a cedar top someday when everything lines up - the looks are just to die for and the tone is just sweet!

Members taylorguitarman Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 I know just how you feel. I just bought a SC20 this week too. Mine's cedar/mahoganyhttp://www.americanguitarboutique.com/breedlove/BR1/front.html I bought a C25 Cal2 this summer and fell in love with Breedloves. They both have a great clear warm sound and a good strong bass response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gui(ld)tar Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 Nice. I've been on the lookout for a C25 with Koa back/sides and sitka top. Got my eye on a couple, but not being able to play them, I've yet to pull the trigger. Guitar Adoptions claim to be the Number 1 Breedlove dealer, but they only have 3 guitars listed on their website - do they have any more in stock?

Members EvilTwin Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 Congratulations. That's a hell of a guitar. I'm sure it sounds even better than it looks...which is kinda scary when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LesterP Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 Congratulations on buying a great guitar and having an equally great buying experience. I have a B. Northwest Master Class and it is sheer perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GN-Nick Posted November 20, 2004 Members Share Posted November 20, 2004 That is a beauty. I just traded in my SC20 Koa for a Collings OM1A, but only because I also own a Breedlove Northwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TaylorFishin' Posted November 22, 2004 Members Share Posted November 22, 2004 Originally posted by guitarcapo The only post that matters: How much did you pay? Jealousy sure can make a man say some odd things. Congratulations on a beautiful guitar Alan and you too Taylorguitarman! Both are Beautiful instruments. I have a pretty good Idea of how both sound and play. I love the unique tone, looks and feel of a Breedlove! I must give another good word for Dave at Guitar Adoptions as well. I've been completely and totally satisfied with every transaction. If your looking for a Breedlove, Dave is the man! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A. Tad Askew Posted November 22, 2004 Members Share Posted November 22, 2004 Another vote here for Dave being one of the truly great guys in this business. I don't know what kind of player he is, but he sure know a special guitar when he hears one. All of his descriptions to me have been right on! And I've fallen for a few: Grosh set-neck, Larrivee L-10 Koa, Breedlove NW and a Grosh retro classic on order. He a good (but expensive) friend to have.....

Members guitarcapo Posted November 23, 2004 Members Share Posted November 23, 2004 Is it jealousy to want to know how much it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Luv2Play Posted November 23, 2004 Members Share Posted November 23, 2004 Guitarcapo, My perception was that he was referrring to the tone of your question...... had you just asked "what was the price" it probably would have been received differently. It may be possible that many people consider the price as one of many factors in the decision process, not the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted November 26, 2004 Members Share Posted November 26, 2004 It may be possible that many people consider the price as one of many factors in the decision process, not the only one! If that guitar was sitting in a window with a 5,000 dollar price tag on it, believe me it would be the only factor involved in my decision. If you're in a position not to care I congratulate you.
