Breedlove's bridge bracing is top notch.

Unfortunately Tom, that limited edition Breedlove is out of my price range presently.

Breedlove's bridge bracing is top notch.

The Bridge Doctor-like support system is not used in Breedlove guitars these days. To quote the company they had two styles of build prior to 2014: "The original style guitars feature the standard style, asymmetrical head stock, winged bridge and bridge truss system. Revival design features a more traditional style. If you require more power, more punch, then you may want the revival design – whereas the original is better suited for a finger picking style." That's taken directly from their website. Neither Breedlove I bought had such a system installed and I don't believe they include it in their American and Imported guitars post 2014. This is old technology for them. and no longer used.

I didn't know they changed? Both my Breedlove's are pre-2014.

Here you go.. The black one is their over seas model and the other is a 2007 from their Master class line up.

 

[davismanLV]

Beautiful!! Now that Master Class one should have the Bridge Doctor for sure. How about the Asian built??

The wood on that Master Class is just STUNNING!!

 

[ezstrummer]

Yes they both do. here's more of the Master Class for those who enjoy pics.
