			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve found a reputable mail order/web-based Breedlove dealer who I trust more than my local GC, and I&#39;m thinking about getting a new Studio series
guitar from them to use as an every-day instrument (albeit a very nice one), and to play while my other guitar is sent off for a few weeks for repairs.
It&#39;s down to either a C250/EO or a D25/SM. I found both at GC and played them for a while, but that particular C model suffered from really dead strings,
so it was hard to make a... ]]></description>

guitars over the years. At the moment I&#39;ve got a Santa Cruz OM and a Santa Cruz VJ, the latter with a Fishman Rare Earth Blend. I usually use an AER combo

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi all.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m finally taking my AD200/SM in for a setup after having it for a couple of years. I&#39;m considering replacing the stock saddle with TUSQ or bone based
on what I&#39;ve read online recently. Any strong feelings out there one way or another?
<br>
<br>
Oh, also curious as to what picks people are using. I bought a bunch of Dunlop mediums a long time ago but I&#39;m now looking for a little variety. Any
suggestions welcome.
<br>
<br>
Thanks!
<br>
<br>

			<link>http://breedloveforum.yuku.com/topic/2274/t/Solo-Models-and-Hardshell-Cases.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I received an interesting question today - will a Solo model with the deeper (3) body depth fit into one of Breedlove&#39;s hardshell cases. I placed a Solo
C350/CR in to one each of Breedlove deluxe and logo hardshell cases. It fits fine into the deluxe, but is a bit tight for the logo case. As such, I advise the
deluxe hardshell case if you want a hardshell case for a Solo or 3 depth body guitar.

I have really enjoyed the new wider string setup work I recently had done, It makes it easier playing with friends much more fun. I didn&#39;t mean to get into
the medical issues on S/A. I read through some old threads here on this website about making glass and metal slides. This brought to my attention a old piano
that my father in law asked me about moving from the Senior Center out in a rural district  to landfill dump. He was told it wasn&#39;t worth the expense of
fixing it.... ]]></description>

<br>
I picked up the AC25/SM Breedlove, the work I had done turned out well. He was able to widen the overall string width a full 3/32&quot; almost .125 or 1/8. He
said many guitars makers with the same size nuts have smaller or wider string widths. In my case it was simple to push it wider and keep things in harmony with
the fret board. The way frets are cut off and beveled also has a lot to do with how much or little you change the string width on various models of guitars..
He was able... ]]></description>

setups and follow ups on all types of guitars are unequaled. That&#39;s a good compliment. Byron drew out on my old nut how much he would widen my strings. I
think it will... ]]></description>
