Purge
Traitorous Usurper
Went and tried out a Breedlove Atlas series today (AJ250/SM) and I loved the hell out of it. But for only $700, which gets me a nice solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides (laminate there, I believe), Fishman electronics, and a nice case that you could drive a tank over, I'm trying to figure out what the catch is. Plus...it just looks cool. Anybody here tried/owned/hated/etc these guitars? For lack of a better phrase, are Breedlove guitars sort of the "Ibanez" of acoustic guitars, meaning that you get lots of nifty features for a decent price...but it's no Taylor?
