Breedlove Custom C1/K Acoustic Guitar #93.002 - Used
A Custom Cedar Top and Koa Back and Sides Custom C1/K.
What We Think
Condition: Used, Excellent
A tremendously beautiful, Bend-made, highly custom Breedlove!  From the complex but clear sound (gotta love Cedar + Koa!) to the handsome wood cosmetics to that immediately recognizable cutaway, this instrument couldn't be a better representative of the best that Breedlove had to offer from this era.  Dynamite!
Note: This guitar is a very early and extremely rare Breedlove that was signed by the three original Luthiers who started Breedlove Guitars in 1992: Larry Breedlove, Steve Henderson and Terry Myers.
Only 14 guitars were ever made with all three of their signatures.

About Breedlove
It was 1990, Larry Breedlove wanted to relocate to the small high desert town of Bend, Oregon – population just 20,000. A former logging community, the Cascade mountains were a haven for skiing, fishing, camping, mountain biking and rafting. Partnering with Steve Henderson they had a dream: to build acoustic instruments unlike any others. Experimenting with innovative designs, unique materials, and distinctive aesthetics, they created what was known as Breedlove sound. How? With two key structural components: a graduated top (thinner on the bass side and thicker on the treble side), and an innovative bridge truss system designed to enhance bass and midrange response by transferring some of the natural string-pull energy from the bridge to the tail block, thereby relaxing the top. The graduated top and the bridge truss created a uniquely musical and balanced voice that achieves remarkable sustain and harmonic complexity.
In 1992, they officially launched the company at NAMM with three body shapes and five models. In 1994, Larry’s brother Kim – a prolific luthier with two decades of experience building, repairing, and designing inlay for guitars, mandolins, dulcimers, and banjos – joined the small team as a master luthier.  In 1995, Kim built the first Breedlove mandolin prototype that debuted at NAMM that year. The tiny company wrote 150 orders – and had no way to produce that volume of instruments. Kim spent the next year figuring out how to ramp up production to fill the demand, and suddenly Breedlove went from a little custom shop that produced a handful of instruments a year, to a force to be reckoned with.
