I can't justify keeping this as it gets little play due to my Moore Bettah and Luis Feu de Mesquita.
So, selling my Breedlove American Series tenor...
From Breedlove's website:
Musicians Friend's list of features:
It plays nicely and the radiused fretboard feels good. Intonation is very good. I also had a Fishman passive ukulele pickup installed.
Musicians Friend and Guitar Center are selling it for $1399 but I found it at one site for $999 so I will use that as the "new price" basis. I got it for $799 due to excess glue around the headstock inlay. There's a picture of this below. Otherwise, the uke is mint.
Edit: I was just playing it and found that if picked very hard (much harder than I normally pick), there might be the slightest buzz on the first couple of frets. Again, I've never noticed it before because I had to really pick hard to get it to buzz. I doubt this will be a problem for anyone.
The case has a few dings but is very nice. I've uploaded pictures of the issues below. It has a crushed velvet lining.
I would like to get $650, hardshell case and shipping to the continental US included.
