Honestly, GAD it was a gut wrenching decision. The guitar was so beautiful. But we fussed and played and fussed and played and.... maybe we just didn't "get it" but we tried and tried for over a week. The decision wasn't made lightly and if we could BEAM a guitar to a different place, we'd have beamed this guitar to one of y'all who have a TON more experience than we do with this type of guitar. But, alas we're here just the two of us lost and after a week, EYE had no love for the guitar and didn't want to play it, and Don didn't either. I "suggested that this maybe wasn't a guitar for him... or us." And I expected a fight but he's spent more time with it than I and what I got was, "Yeah, I should just send it back." I truly would like to know if there was something wrong with the guitar or if it's just us being messed up because it's something new or different. I've played solid body electrics and although they were "different" I never had a problem playing in tune at all. Not sure at all but, yeah.... the blue one is gone, Gary. I was sad to see it go. Pretty thing, for sure, you know?
I've still got the Breedlove and I couldn't be happier. In fact, my other guitars are wondering WTF? Don't blame them, I'm wondering that too. Such a responsive and resonant thing that's just .... AMAZING. So one hit, and one miss..... :encouragement:
