Yo' Glenn-Tree, every once in awhile when I go out to lunch, I'll run into hima block or so from my officre. If I see him today, I'll give him the headz-up on this thread!
 
QQ:

Don't sweat it - I'm just pulling his chain a little.

Sweet guitar, though. I'd like to spring for it myself. Imagine - a brace of 815s...:D
 
funny you should call

Nah, I don't want a Taylor. But I'm in deep trouble. I was going back to the various Martins in the 16 series and it just hasn't been quite right. I was at Manny's Music on 48th St. in NYC. I made the mistake of picking up a Breedlove, a C25. About twice the price of the Martins I was looking at of course. Now I don't know what to do:confused: :confused: :confused:
 
That's a nice guitar, but I wouldn't pay more than $1,500 for it.

It would be worth more $$$ if it was Brazilian rosewood instead of Indian.

Despite the small, low-res picture, I can see the spots in the wood near the binding that the seller talks about. That probably sticks out like a sore thumb to the naked eye when you see the guitar in front of you, instead of a picture that's a fraction of the real size of that guitar.

My guess is that he has a $1,600 reserve and the bids won't get higher than $1,300 right near the time bidding expires.

That guitar probably won't sell this time around.

BTW....

THIS IS MY 2,000th POST!!!!!

Woo Hoo!!!! :D:D
 
WELL LARRY...

You already knew what my answer would be...

Hey, look at it this way. If you're not a member of a credit union, then go join one now, before someone else gets the Breedlove. Or put a $50 deposit on it to hold the thing. Transfer some money into a credit union share draft account and use it for security to get a loan. You'll find a share draft secured loan available for about 2 1/2 % APR. That's right. 2.5%.

Now, what was the problem again?




Buck: Get back to work.

:D :D :D :D :D

(I'm going to have to write faster now, I can tell...)

Hey, brazilian is pretty cool on older guitars! Then, we could talk about mortgage rates. These days, raw sets are running around $1200 - $2000 before you even fill the wormholes... I'll pass.

Tree,

Elderly has some versions of that Breedlove guitar (it's an SC-25 by the way) with various woods -- Sitka Spruce with Myrtlewood back and sides; red cedar top with rosewood back and sides; red cedar with Koa; sitka with Mahogany; cedar with mahogany -- they have these various combinations in their SC-2_ line with electronics that they are calling the "Focus" or "Fusion" model

http://www.elderly.com/brands/breedlove.html

Elderly has all that selection and somewhat better prices (and no fucking NYS/NYC 8.25% sales tax!) but of course I can't play their guitars before I buy them.

What do ya'll think about these wood combos on a Breedlove guitar?
 
Well; lemme think on that for a bit, although that flamed maple back and sides C25 makes me go weak at the knees.

You did know that I bought my guitar at Elderly, didn't you? Those guys are strictly top shelf in my book.
 
OHMYGODITSABREEDLOVE!

Yow! Nice work. I'll just stand over here and watch you hit redline...

:D

Seriously, that is one hell of a package!
