So, dunno if this has been answered yet, but Eddie said he found the reflectors at a truck stop and put him on his guitar because the thought they would reflect stage lights in a cool way.

I have a Taylor too. I definitely know what you're talking about; pick up their $700 "beginner's" guitar (114; solid spruce top/sapele laminate back/sides) and prepare to leave all former experience with sub-grand guitars behind. This thing makes a big sound, very well balanced, and highly responsive. The neck was a bit wider than I was used to (I'd gotten used to my Strat) but very playable. Then I plugged it into an Acoustasonic and was blown away by the transparency of the amplified sound. This thing beats any other piezo I have heard by miles. It is now my main acoustic (the little $100 Takamine dread I learned on has been relegated to outdoor/beater duty) and I use it more often than any other guitar in my stash.

 

As for Breedlove, it's another American brand, relatively new, started by former Taylor luthiers. Depending on your price range, you may have gotten one of their Asian imports (the Passport series are I believe all Chinese-made) or you may have just gotten a bad one. I was very impressed with the $500-700 Breedloves I've tried, but I wanted an acoustic-electric when I bought my latest, which put the Breedloves that would otherwise have been in my price range out of it.

Now that we're on the subject of breakfast foods, what did everyone have for breakfast this morning? If it was something good, let us all in on it.
