I went with a Deluxe build Revival series 000 slot-headed 12-fretter. Breedlove was kind enough to delete the pickguard and will allow me to furnish the material of my choice for the nut and the saddle (it will be West African Hard Ivory). I chose the snowflake fret markers, herringbone purfling and rosette, and the Master grade Koa binding option.. Breedlove was also kind enough to build it with the 1 7/8" nut/fretboard width. It will be used mostly for fingerstyle, no picks, just fingertips and fingernails, although I might use it a bit for some rhythm work with a flatpick. Having played classical guitars for 35 years, this was as close as I could get to a classical guitar with steel strings--I have many guitars of various sizes and I find that when I want it to feel good and sound right, I keep going back to my cheap Yamaha classical guitars. Hopefully this will fill the bill. Thanks for the link, David!!

Here's the thread you posted regarding your c12: http://breedloveforum.yuku.com/topic/491

And thanks for the welcome to the forum, Michael. My Breedlove dealer told me about this forum; I'd have never found it on my own. I've spent the better part of yesterday and today reading through various threads and must admit I like the atmosphere here--I'm not much of a player, but that won't keep me from enjoying my Breedlove and the fellowship on this forum!
