			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Hello all, I&#39;m Kyle from Spokane WA.  I&#39;m going to Bend in July to build a custom shop acoustic Breedlove, gonna select the woods, etc.  I have a
pretty general idea of what I want to do as far as woods, body style, etc.. but I am wondering if anyone has any feedback as far as LR Baggs electronics,
specifically the Dual Element vs. the I-Mix M1.  I&#39;m a guitar salesman, and am familiar with the Dual Element from selling Focus series Breedloves.  I
really like the versatility of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Just wondering if anyone has had experience ordering custom thru Imagine Guitars? I would like the profit to go to as small a company as possible while still
getting a great deal- I was quoted $2500 for Cedar top Rosewood side/back Focus Lefty - After some looking and reading I really like the Mahogany side/back,
Any idea if this adds cost? I am pretty naive to custom ordering and high end guitars in general- This is a great resource and I really appreciate any
opinions- ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ In some of the other forums I visit, a lot of people talk about having a guitar set up by a luthier. They say that even a new guitar should be set up. I am
wondering what people on this forum think? I &#39;m not having any problems with my Pro D25, however, I am wondering if this would be worth the money, and
would I notice the difference. If I did have it set up would it be a good idea to change the saddle? ]]></description>

Master Class 12 string and was wondering what are the differences and benefits of using a Rosewood fingerboard vs. an Ebony. I personally like the look of the
Rosewood but am concerned about two things: 1) will Rosewood be less durable than Ebony (as I want to keep this guitar for 30+ years and give it to one of my
grandchildren)? and... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I am left handed so my options are not quite as rich as others. The Atlas is available in a LH version but the Pro Series in the same is at least six months
out. Here is my question. Has anyone had the opportunity to really compare these two models? Are there significant tone quality differences? I am aware that
the Atlas incorporates laminated sides but other than that are they essentially the same? I really love the look, feel and sound of the Pro Series and would be
willing... ]]></description>

Foolishly, unlike most of you here, i have not tested out the guitar before making this decision- i am basing it on everyone else&#39;s opinions/ratings.  I am
taking a huge leap of faith here (as a pastor i do this often).  I have my fingers crossed, as this would be my 1st &quot;higher&quot; end acoustic for me

playing it so I am kind of nervous. I have mostly played Martins and need something with good volume for jamming. I love flatpicking and want something that is
going to cut through. I would appreciate any advice, pros, cons on this guitar, do they have good volume? responsive? easy playing? Could you compare it to a
Martin D-18V? Thank you... ]]></description>

a Breedlove AD25/SR for the first time and fell in love.  The problem I am having, is choosing between the AD25/SR Plus and the AC25SR Plus.

there is more tension on all the components vs. a 6-string, I was wondering what is the benifit of using tuners that have a larger ratio, e.g. 18:1 vs 21:1,
etc.?  Is it for more accurate tuning? Is it for holding the adjustment (pitch) better... meaning less retuning.  With 12 strings, I am not looking forward to
the greater number of... ]]></description>
