No, Ralph, the BLUE one was the first Breedlove I bought. That one is not going ANYWHERE!! It's also Myrtlewood but with a spruce top. That one's staying. :love:

Are you kidding, Sandy?? I had the blue one already, I think TXbumper helped me with that one as an open box from Sweetwater? I'm pretty sure. And then THIS one, after more grief from GC, the all myrtlewood one in the larger size you found for me at Springfield Music. Brand new, marked as used because of the low price and I tell you, if you get to do business with these people they're amazing. He was playing the guitar over the phone for me and said, "What kinda strings do you want us to put on it for ya? I want you to get it with new strings!!" Those people are amazing. Unfortunately, it just sat there not getting played and..... so it found a new home. The guy that bought it, it's for his birthday later this month. He has a Asian built Breedlove that he loves, but he wanted one from Bend, OR!! So I packed him up a Happy Birthday, guitar!!

p.s. - if your friends can't spend your money, are they really, truly friends?? I ask you......

Well, I sure found my guitar a nice home! I messaged the guy to let him know that although they'd promised by Monday, it was on the truck out for delivery today (Saturday, exactly 2 days) and would be delivered soon. He saw the truck coming down the street and was about to wet his pants. He said it's 60 here do I need to wait? So I told him it's 66 here, and it's been in Ohio since yesterday so I'd for sure take it out of the box and feel the latches and see if they felt super cold and if not just open it. So he tuned it up and played a few songs and honestly when he messaged me back he was crying!! He was so happy with the sound and just excited in general. He and his wife are gonna record a song later and put it up on youtube so.....

I found the girl a good home!! So exciting! I swear when he said the truck was coming down the street I was more excited than HE WAS!!! LOL!! Success!! (y)

And a 5 star review!

That's such a satisfying feeling when you pass an instrument on to someone who appreciates it as much or more than you do. Cool story, Tom.

The guy that bought my Myrtlewood Breedlove Concerto E sings at church with his wife. The very night he got the guitar he recorded this so I could hear it. They do a nice job and the guitar sounds good. I'm so happy James got it for his birthday!! So here's James and his wife singing Death Was Arrested.
