These are of course, not the first guitars that Breedlove has had made in China. The Pursuit Exotic Myrtlewood which I reviewed is also made in China, as is the Discovery Concert Nylon CE that I reviewed back in April 2019. However, they were solid top with laminate back and sides so it will be very interesting to see how an all solid Breedlove compares.
I will be doing a full video and written review for this one, so look out for that.
