Breedlove

In college, a good friend of mine asked me to help him pick out a guitar in the $500 range.  We headed to Guitar Source in Overland Park, KS and started checking out guitars. The salesman highly recommended us checking out these new guitars they got by Breedlove, a brand I hadn’t heard of before.  It was the first series of their Atlas series guitars.  I was totally blown away but the fit and finish and, most importantly, the sound!  That was my first experience with the brand and I’ve been a fan ever since!
