Breedlove DM Deluxe Adirondack/Mahogany Dreadnought
Masterfully-crafted in Oregon, this guitar is a powerhouse instrument with bold bass notes, a strong midrange and lively trebles. Very light to hold, the playability is superb, with a very comfortable low profile (1-3/4) neck and spot-on intonation.



Revival Series (from Breedlove's website)
Traditional in both design and aesthetic, Revival Series guitars capture the essence of legendary "pre-war" guitars. Timeless form, vintage aesthetics and "pre-war" X-bracing meet with Breedlove Craftsmanship in an American-made, hand-built guitar that represents a new benchmark for performance and value. Breedlove Revival acoustic guitars feature forward X bracing and a graduated top thickness. Revival tops are thicker in the middle and thinner toward the perimeter, delivering a tone that is powerful and explosive and also very balanced. Revival Deluxe guitars are fitted with Red Spruce tops and Red Spruce bracing, a bone nut and saddle and are finished in a high gloss.

Condition
Overall excellent. There's a very minor nick in the headstock next to the E string tuner and few faint scratches and light marks here and there. The guitar has been played, but has always been properly cared for in its humidified, non-smoking home. The DM Deluxe models sell new for around $2500. I'm offering this one for $1650 $1575 shipped. This is a lot of guitar for the money. You will not be disappointed with this fine musical instrument.

Now $1475 shipped.

Thanks for the nice comments. The Revivals are very nice guitars that manage to fly a bit under the radar. I've owned a few adi/mahogany dreads and this is one is my favorite. It has the most comfortable neck of any dreadnought I've owned - just a wonderful instrument. I have the OM version of this guitar and find that I prefer the smaller body for ergonomic reasons. If you like dreads - you'll love this one!

The Breedlove Revival Series definitely fly "under the radar" as stated. They are fantastic guitars and completely unlike the Standard Breedlove line up. Having played a few of these I can tell you they are wonderful guitars..

Best of luck on the sale :cheers

One more bump. As I'm attempting to reduce the number of guitars I own, I'd consider a trade for this and the D-18 I also have listed here. Preferences would include a nice classical or smaller-bodied steel string with a 1-3/4" or preferably wider neck.

These are very nice instruments and this is a very good price. I recently sold my OMM Deluxe for $1500, so I think this is priced right.
* Larrivee: Forum 3; Italian Spruce with Rosewood back and sides
* Martin: OM-42
* Martin: Custom Maury Meuhlheisen D-35
* Martin: 000-17 SM
* Emerald: X7/OS Custom
* Gibson: Les Paul



Still available. Anyone seeking a really nice adirondack/mahogany dread will not be disappointed with this one. Big clear tone and excellent playability!

Any trade offers?


I have a Patience Acacia B&S and another with Palo escrito. Both new. Let me know and I can send you pics.

Hang in there.  I own a Deluxe just like the one you are selling.  Incredible guitar!!  I think that people don't know this guitar is made in the custom shop at Breedlove.  It's not just another off the shelf guitar.  Just hang in there, the guitar will sell to someone who will be amazed they purchased the $4000 guitar for under $1500.

I went to Neal's to play his Breedlove and his D18 a couple weeks ago.  Both fantastic.  My preference was for the Breedlove primarily for the neck profile and bit of extra width at the nut.  They had different sounds but I like both.  Amazingly, they look even better in person than in his pictures.  All of Neal's guitars are beauties and in perfect condition.  Couldn't ask for more.  I ended up buying a 12 fret dread from the AGF.  Love 12 fretters and found just the right one for me.  Thus I didn't buy either one Neal's beauties.  Just saying this to let anyone interested that the Revival Deluxe and the D18 are really fine guitars.

I have been fortunate to acquire this guitar as well as the gorgeour bearclaw D-18 in a trade. One needs to go! I will sell this Breedlove shipped for $1450. Any interest pm or email me. dhf at ntelos dot net. Thanks!


I'd be interested in the Breedlove if the new owner wants to sell :)
