Brief Review Of The Breedlove C25/cr Herringbone
In its relatively brief existence, the Breedlove Guitar Company has gained a well-deserved reputation for top quality, easily-playable instruments.
These quality instruments, however, also come with a fairly high price tag, but the company is attempting to reach a broader audience with its heralded "Pro" series of guitars, which includes the C25/CR Herringbone Acoustic. The C25/CR is a guitar that can be purchased for the price of an imported instrument, but it is certainly "custom-shop" quality.
The Pro Series models are built in the USA while the parts are machined in Korea. In spite of the cost-cutting measures, these lower-cost models share many of the same features as Breedlove's US-only instruments. Since Breedlove prides itself on its customizations, part of the savings comes by excluding some of those options. For example, in the Pro Series, players can choose from Cedar or Sitka Spruce Tops as well as numerous electronics configurations, but the choices are fixed otherwise. However, the guitar's appointments, with quality herringbone trim and abalone rosette, are solid quality and should satisfy even the most demanding player.
Breedlove's C25/CR Herringbone is a concert-sized instrument with a lovely cedar top and equally attractive rosewood sides and back. It has an ebony fretboard and a slim, one-piece mahogany neck. It is comfortable to play with a 1" nut. The saddle is spaced at 2", so both fingerstyle and flatpickers will be equally contented with the instrument.
Visually, the Breedlove C25/CR Herringbone is obviously cut from the same cloth as the higher-level Breedlove models. The distinctive cutaway and headstock coupled with the pinless, winged bridge make it clear what brand of guitar you're playing, despite the more affordable pricetag.
Breedloves are noted for their resonant, bassy voice, and the C25/CR Herringbone is no exception. The guitar is blessed with gorgeous overtones and long, clear sustain, as well as a deep, full low end. The guitar's bass response is perhaps the C25/CR Herringbone's most distinctive 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 C25/CR flourishes in its onboard electronics as well. The included L. R. Baggs Element system does a superb job in translating the guitar's rich acoustic sounds into usable electric ones (the Dual Source Element system is an optional feature). I captured the C25/CR directly into my Macintosh Pro Tools home studio and was extremely satisfied with the sounds I was able to capture.
Even though the C25/CR isn't a custom Breedlove, it's still an incredibly 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 instrument. It might be one of the finest acoustic instruments you'll ever play and is one that we recommend highly. The Breedlove Pro Series is worth every dime.
