The Breedlove C25/CR might be one of the finest acoustic instruments you'll ever play and is one that we recommend without reservation.
The Breedlove Guitar Company has gained a prime reputation in a relatively short time for building guitars of high playability and considerable build quality. These guitars, however, admittedly come with a premium cost. Breedlove is attempting to make its instruments more obtainable through the critically acclaimed "Pro" series. One high-quality instrument from this series is the C25/CR Herringbone Acoustic, which is much more affordable than its custom models, but is still a solid quality instrument.
Voice Service Bridge
Features
The Breedlove is a concert-sized instrument that has a dark cedar top with rosewood back and sides. The slim neck is made of a single piece of mahogany with an ebony fretboard has a 1 ¾" nut width and 2 ¼" saddle-spacing. A pinless bridge is standard equipment, as is the L. R. Baggs Dual Source amplification system.
Performance
With the Pro Series models, Breedlove saves the cost of production by building the instruments in the United States from parts that are machined in Korea. Don't think, though, that these cost-saving measures affect the quality of the models, because these "budget" Breedloves have many of the same beloved features as the US-only guitars. Breedlove saves much of the cost by limiting the number of customizations available. As an example, customers can choose from a Sitka Spruce or Cedar top, but those are the only options regarding the guitar's top. Likewise, players can choose from a number of different electronics choices, but that's all. Despite the limitations of choices, the guitar's appointments are very well done, from the abalone rosette to the herringbone trim.
From a visual perspective, the C25/CR Herringbone is clearly Breedlove. The distinctive headstock and the sloped, soft cutaway along with the winged, pinless bridge make it clear that you're playing a Breedlove, regardless of the lower pricetag.
Breedloves are noted for their resonant, bassy voice, and the C25/CR Herringbone is no exception. The instrument is blessed with gorgeous overtones and long, clear sustain, as well as a deep, full low end. The instrument's bass response is perhaps the C25/CR Herringbone's most unique feature, especially prevalent on the low E, A, and D strings. All six strings display the same smooth, compressed sustain. One is reminded of the smooth lead tones of a fine electric guitar. The lead voice of the C25/CR Herringbone is one of its most potent features.
The electronics are very well done as well. The C25/CR includes an onboard L. R. Baggs Element system, with the Dual Source Element as an option. The Baggs system does a great job in capturing the guitar's beautiful acoustic tones, no easy task. Using my Mac-based Pro Tools home studio, I recorded the guitar directly and was very happy with the end results.
The Bottom Line
Even though the C25/CR isn't a custom Breedlove, it's still an very high-quality guitar. Just because it doesn't have the same custom options as more expensive Breedlove models doesn't mean it's not a solid guitar. It might be one of the finest acoustic instruments you'll ever play and is one that we recommend without reservation. The Breedlove Pro Series is worth every penny.
