Hello gang long time no see kind 'a SO NGD

[Rayk]

Ok you all missed me so .......... Its story time !!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay !!!!

Man there was this guitar I wanted to buy thing is before this guitar came around i had no intentions of buying another guitar for a while hopefully a long while . Lol

But of course I never stopped looking at them , Duh !

If some of you can remember one of ya posted this vid about the Breedlove premier Concerto , boy did that sound nice and yes my last words for the most part was I want one ! Then I got gone for a while .

I kept looking at the Concerto then started think if the grand Om would be better and so it went back and forth back and forth. Geez I'm tired . Zzzzzzz ...

Wait ! What !? Oh yeah ok , so then there's this other guitar that pops up which was on my radar for sometime not necessarily this particular one but same model .

Well I couldn't stand the fact that this guy was going to let it go so begged and pleaded with him not to sell it ! He finally agree'd all is right in the world . Yeah I kind'a made part of this tale up . Fun huh ???

So no I didnt get the guitar but its ok because like I said i really didnt want to buy another guitar ! Right ? I said that yes ? Yes I did .

It was easy to go back to looking at the Breedloves again . Oh i forgot to add that somehow if not one of you , Tom ? Mentioned Breedloves master class .

So those made it into the mix . For the love of ...... The Anunnaki.

So because of my distress over one guitar I couldnt get because I didn't want to buy one anyway . I ended up buying one I wasn't looking for model wise to begin with !!!!

What in the Bloodly H E double hockey stick! Is happening here !?

I think I need professional help . Lol

So I bought a Breedlove . I guess had to be I guess .....
Its not the

Sounds reasonable to me.

No need to delete. Just...... where is it? Where's the audio?

 

[GGJaguar]

Don't delete, just edit (should be a choice in the lower left corner of your post).

 

[Rayk]

I had a double post some how but the first one wasn't finished .
Thanks for fixing it .

[Westerly Wood]

Warning: thread hijack.

WAIT, WHEN DID WOODY GET A D-35?

Boy have I been out of the loop.

 

[davismanLV]

Neal, life goes on buddy, regardless if you log in or not. Yup, a D35! It sounds amazing too, when he plays it.

 

[Neal]

Sorry, I got swallowed whole by the UMGF. It's expensive spending time over there, as you can see by my sig. And not nearly as laid back as LTG. Those guys are so SERIOUS.

Funny thing is that the Martin forum contains way more knowledge of vintage Gibsons than does the Gibson forum, which is essentially worthless for acoustic fans.

 

[Rayk]

cool Ray. hope you doing well.

Yeah doing good though I became a slack ass . Lol
Still trying to get audio of the Eastman. Its weird I like it but in front of mics though not so much so as a result of which im not fully sure yet but I might let it go .

Breedlove is on the truck today. Boy one day shipping thats fast and unexpected .
I'll post some screen shots of from the listing .

 

[Rayk]

Here's somepics from the listing.

 

[GGJaguar]

Looks good! Can't wait to read your impressions after you get to spend a little time with it.

 

[Westerly Wood]

that rosewood looks very nice. i bet it will be a great fingerstyle guitar. looks comfy too.

 

[Rayk]

Ok just got it and WOW !
Original case pretty blue has a bridge protector heavy paper to use during string changes.

Even a plastic humidity gauge even the key is there . Lol
Nice soft handle .
Ok so the guitar.
Yeah man Im impressed and extremely lucked out for something i didn't want .

In hand its super light . Going back over it appointments.

Ebony head cap , fingerboard and bridge .
Sitka top. Most silking I think I've had .
EIR back and sides .
Binding looks to be Koa on the body , fingerboard, and sound hole .
Very pretty Abalone full pieces not little ones put together.
It has the bridge support system in there ,top is A1 due to that I assume.
The saddle is really high ,action is great playability great.

Finish is great . Honestly I can tell you that I see any signs of play . It has a few light scratches but nothing that looks like player mojo.

It has one little ding on the back about 1/8 Dia .

Lower bout 16 7/8's
Upper 11 3/4
Waist 9 3/4 give or take .
Body thickness at tail 4 1/8
Neck 3 1/2
Nut 1 3/4

Man I'm impressed . This thing is nothing like the F55 which most likey comes from body depth.

This is extremely easy for to play more like my Grand Auditoriums.

Strings a rusty dead and it sounds wonderfully rich great sustain . The neck is just right in thickness for comfort and speed.

Guys I hate to say it but this guitar just might move to the number 2 position.

I'm gunna play her then get a demo out .

Bottom line very very pleased . !

...Ebony head cap , fingerboard and bridge .

Gotta love an ebony fingerboard!

Very pretty Abalone full pieces not little ones put together.

And an abalone rosette. Well, there you go!

That bridge looks like a Klingon design.

Congrats, Ray. Sounds like a good one![/QUOTE]
