Main Photo	2002 Breedlove J15 MAP Lefty Serial # 4649. This left-handed twelve string is a work of art to behold and play. Custom ordered with the most outrageously quilted maple back and sides, the tonewoods are showcased tastefully with simple - yet classy - appointments. Spoked abalone rosette, bound soundhole, ivoroid body and fingerboard bindings and mitered purflings all subtly add to the beauty of this instrument. 17" wide jumbo body with a soft cut-away, and a slightly shallow body depth of 4-1/16". Ebony fingerboard and pinless bridge, ebony tuning machine buttons and bound headstock overlay. 14 fret one piece maple neck with a scale length of 25.5" and a nut width of 1-7/8". Signature-Voiced Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top with scalloped braces and JLD Bridge Truss. Glossy amber-toned finish, satin neck; professionally installed Fishman Matrix under-saddle pickup. The instrument is in near flawless condition and has been set up in our shop. The only fault we're able to find is a very slight separation between two layers of the top's binding on the bass-side waist. A comfortable guitar to play, with excellent upper-fret access.

Main Photo	Breedlove Quartz OF 'Burst Breedlove's Quartz OF sunburst offers a dressed-up option to the company's affordable and popular OF blonde. A bound body and a tasteful sunburst finish differentiate it from the blonde, but it is otherwise an identical instrument. Solid tonewoods throughout, all Breedloves are carved and graduated carefully for a balanced voice. The OF models have tone-bar style bracing for increased projection, and a radiused fingerboard for comfort. Hard shell case included.
