New Breedlove Ed Gerhard Signature Acoustic Guitar

New Breedlove Ed Gerhard Signature Acoustic GuitarHere we have a new Ed Gerhard Signature guitar from Breedlove’s custom shop in Oregon. This guitar has been in our showroom for a little longer than we’d like and has some very light pick marks on the top. That moves it into our “shopworn” category which means we can discount it a little bit, and you don’t have to worry about putting the first scratch on your new guitar! This instrument is still under the full Breedlove lifetime warranty (we are an authorized dealer). And the wear is extremely minor—you really have to get the lighting just right to see the pick marks. We tried to capture this in the photos but it was difficult.

About this model: The Ed Gerhard Signature is a state of the art fingerstyle instrument. Its volume, balance and projection are unequaled. Fingerstyle Legend Ed Gerhard is a true fingerstyle master and Breedlove is naturally proud of their ongoing collaboration with Ed in making guitars that are perfect for his broad expressive range. Ed demands a guitar that has a big, well defined bass, without excessive overtones in the lower midrange. His peerless technique requires a guitar with treble frequencies that are clear and crisp without being brittle. The award- winning Ed Gerhard Master Class Model remains a favorite among players and the luthiers at Breedlove. Full specifications:
