Chris's testimony:

“I have about thirty acoustic guitars in my arsenal, collected over thirty five years of performing, recording, and writing music for a living. After preparing for a national tour, I felt like none of my guitars could do everything I wanted to do on stage. I needed something that had nuance, dynamic flexibility,  consistency, and occasional grit. After picking up one of the new Breedlove acoustics, I never looked back. These guitars have changed the entire live experience for me in all the best ways. I’m not merely performing songs - I’m actually making music. I can’t thank Pete and the folks at Breedlove enough for helping me find my sound again.”
