Well, I've mentioned my "bestest" guitar in several posts, so what's one more? My sweetheart guitar is a C25/K Breedlove that just roped me in with the very first chord - it's that simple. Mine was not new when purchased - I couldn't afford it without a major adjustment in my life; and, since I'd probably never buy an instrument without playing it first, it may be the case that I'll never own a "brand spanking new" custom guitar. Having written that, however, I don't expect that I'll need another one - at least in this life.

Just for the record, though, before the guitar was purchased I took down the serial number and called Breedlove - they were very happy to give me every bit of information they had about the instrument before I made the purchase. Since that time they have answered several questions of mine and insist that they will be there if and when I need them. Hey, good luck with your choice - may it be the best one for you. Cheers.
