General
Your general opinion of this product.
I am extremely impressed with this guitar! I am a former owner of a high end series guitar from a well known competitor - although that guitar was well worth the money, this one is well worth the same amount but costs less than 1/3 the price!
Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I have only had the guitar for a few weeks but it certainly seems to be well built and I don't foresee any issues arising. I like the fact that there is not a pick guard but I may end up getting a clear cling on type to protect the body.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
The neck is smooth as butter! It felt a little chunky at first but that may be due to the fact that I've been playing a lot of mandolin and ukulele lately. Very comfortable!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Very well balanced - even tone and volume across all six strings. I believe it may actually beat my previous high end guitar in this category. Lows, mids and highs all ring through with clarity.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The action was good out of the box - I do prefer lower action so I did adjust it slightly - it should be great for most players.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
No flaws whatsoever. I really appreciate the top - nice wood grain with no irregularities or knots. This isn't the fanciest guitar in the world but the finish is outstanding for what it is.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Again - I've only had the guitar for a few weeks but it seems to be a very solid, sturdy, guitar while still being light and comfortable to play.

The neck is fast! As with any new guitar you have got to get use to it (fell,size&balance).

Tone is great, not muddy!

Not a flaw anywhere on the guitar. The build quality is impeccable. The electronics are awesome. I truly couldn't ask for a better guitar for the price. I think it exceeds name brand guitars well beyond the price.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've only owned it for a day, but I don't foresee any problems and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty... Can't beat that.

Your general opinion of this product.
Well I got my guitar today and my expectations were blown out of the water. I'd never even picked this guitar up before making the purchase online, I went completely by reviews and youtube videos. I ordered the guitar on September 1 and received it on September 2. Typically the guitar comes with a deluxe gig bag, but I was shocked to get a deluxe Breedlove hardshell case with my order!!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It's a very light, fast guitar. The neck is very straight, thin and playable and like I said before, the satin finish is fast and easy to play. The controls are very zccessible and it's easy to make changes on the fly. The built in tuner is a huge plus!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone of this guitar is just perfect. Not muddy, but not too bright either. Great lows, mids and highs. This is a perfectly balanced guitar and I couldn't be happier with it. It sounds great unplugged and plugged.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
This guitar is kind of a flat satin finish which I love. It really shows the detail of the wood and it's just gorgeous. The satin finish on the neck is great because the lack of gloss allows you to transition up and down the neck much faster.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
The action out of the box was great. I prefer my action a little lower, so I rotated the truss rod 1/4 turn clockwise and now it's absolutely golden.
