This is a beautiful looking and sounding guitar from Breedlove.  I bought this guitar on a one day sale when it was marked down a lot, and can now pass on some savings to you while making a little myself.   I have inspected this guitar personally to make sure everything is in proper working condition and that there are no defects.  The electronics work great, the sound came through crystal clear on my amp.  The action and playability are amazing.  You can tell that this is a high quality instrument when you sit down with it.  I have been playing guitar since I was 12 years old and now at 37, this is the nicest 12 string that I can remember ever playing.  Great craftsmanship, excellent electronics, and a beautiful finish. There is a brand new set of strings on the guitar, it is ready to go.  The guitar comes with a quality, thickly padded ,backpack strap soft case that will easily provide good protection.  I am offering this guitar for $150 less than what it is sold for in most places. I believe in honesty, integrity, doing your best, and doing good by people that you make a deal with.  Here are the specs provided by Breedlove.   OVERVIEWA beautiful 12-string with single cutaway and slim neck for more playability, and gorgeous sunburst for more visual appeal.For the player seeking clear, concise, note-for-note 12-string articulation, the Breedlove Studio 12-String is a serious acoustic-electric optimized for songwriting, recording, and live performance, making it a must-have for every guitar player's collection. A comfortable neck profile and the concert body make this 12-string easy to play for long sessions and Breedlove's pinless bridge makes string changes quick, easy, and painless. It also features the Breedlove Bridge Truss, which relieves stress on the guitars top from the extra tension of 12-strings, and yields extra sustain and balance.Body Shape
The Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best-selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well-balanced, compact, and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you'e a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch. The graduated top works in harmony with the Breedlove Bridge Truss to provide an even response throughout the lows, mids, and highs, with sustain, and clear, concise, note-for-note projection.Breedlove Bridge Truss
The Breedlove Bridge Truss (BBT) reduces tension on the soundboard of the guitar, so the top wood is able to vibrate more freely, producing remarkable sustain, balance, and clarity. The BBT also allows for a thinner graduated top, thereby allowing Breedlove craftsmen to bring out the optimal sound from the top wood without sacrificing structural stability. Relieving much of the string tension from the bridge prevents "bridge belly," ensuring top stability for decades. Guitar strings can exert up to 230 pounds of pull from the nut to the bridge. Traditional methods for preventing top bowing at the bridge usually involve heavy internal bracing and thicker tops. The BBT compensates for this pressure in an innovative way: The BBT is mounted to the bridge from the inside and is connected into the tail block of the guitar, pulling downward on the underside of the bridge to distribute some of the tension, relieving pressure on the top. The resulting tonal effect on BBT-equipped guitars is more resonance and livelier sound with enhanced overtones.Top Woods
Sitka spruce, picea sitchensis, originates in the northwest United States. Sitka spruce has been the primary top wood for American-made instruments for decades. It is strong and light with extended harmonic content, and it nearly equals the power of Adirondack. It offers a strong, focused tone with a solid fundamental -- perfect for flatpicking styles. When compared with European spruce, Sitka delivers warmer, more fundamental sound, largely free of overtones. Sitka takes a slightly longer period of playing time to open up. It has a straight uniform grain and coloration ranges from white to pink to light brown.Breedlove Pinless Bridge
The Breedlove Pinless Bridge helps maintain the integrity of the top by eliminating the need for six drilled string holes. The fewer holes in your soundboard, the more evenly the sound wave can move across the interior, without any loss of energy. The Breedlove Pinless Bridge also provides a gentler string-break angle from the bridge to the top of the saddle, reducing saddle strain. This innovative bridge also makes string changes a breeze, especially on 12 strings. Plus, you™ll never again have to worry about lost, worn-out, or broken bridge pins.Breedlove Neck
Breedlove guitars feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability. The labor-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.
