For what it's worth -- and I'm not all that knowledgeable, but...
My nephew has started to see the light and is moving away from the electric guitar world and has decided he wants to find an acoustic electric guitar. He asked me to go with him to the Guitar Center to check out guitars. His budget was under $800... which of course is very limiting in the acoustic world. After playing about 20 guitars -- I have to say one of the Breedloves ended up being the best for the money. I can't remember the model name... but I actually fell a bit in love with it. Granted, it's not a vintage Guild, but for a new guitar, it did seem to have something going for it. It was easy to play and the sound was very uniform and mellow.
That day, I played Taylors, Ovations, Alvarez, Ibanez, Seagulls, and in the price range, the Breedlove won hands down.
I recommended it to my nephew. He's still thinking on it as he wants to make sure he gets the right guitar -- but I think he's leaning for the Breedlove as well.
If I had the money, I would not hesitate to buy a breedlove...
