Breedlove C2/k | 1996 Serial No. 96-175 | 100 Cedar & Flamed Koa | Signed Steve Henderson

Up for sale is my Breedlove Guitar Co. C2/k concert deep body with solid highly figured/flamed Koa back and sides and a solid spectacular 100 Cedar top with a beautiful rich golden hued aging toner. This is the real deal beautiful aesthetic❗ Serial No. 96-175

This guitar is an Acoustic /electric with what appears to be a passive end jack [there are no dials in the sound hole] ; and to be honest I have not ever plugged in this guitar.

My sales are very controlled by myself only as I am a private seller and not a store shop, so if the guitar is up for sale on Reverb then it is available for purchase; the guitar shipped to you will be exactly the one in the advertisement pictures. Once I list a guitar for sale on reverb it is not used or touched again unless there is a seller's reason to do so.

I am not the original owner of this guitar for many years now - however it has little play time on it - my reason for selling is to thin the herd.

I'm a man-cave player , so this Breedlove has never been out of my home , and unless played , it's in the case , in my temp/humidity controlled environment.

It is in pure Mint condition for it's age, no scratches, no dings, and may find only the faintest micro swirling - just 'cause that's the way I keep all my instruments.

I give this guitar two thumbs up for it's amazing clear balanced articulate tone and all USA American build quality.  I play only fingerstyle guitar and this one has a solid great feel and lively open tone to it.

This guitar has amazing construction , wood selection and specs for the price , with some of the key features being...

- USA American build construction...

-highly figured/flamed Koa back and sides

Using digital calipers the nut width is 1.77"

and string spacing at the saddle is 2.31" outside to outside on the E strings.

Scale Length 25.5"

Koa wood body depth...

Lower bout at the end = 4" &¾"

Upper body at the neck = 3" &¾"

Lower bout 15" &¼"

Upper bout ~11" inch /? [the extreme cut makes this an estimated measure]

I would describe the neck as a fast feeling low profile C shape gloss finish.

As for the radius I give it a 12 inch average feel similar to any custom Breedlove fretboard ; I don't  have the instrument  to measure this exactly.

This guitar is set up with a brand new set of Elixir Polyweb 80/20 bronze strings (12_53 gauge ; i happen to tune my guitars most often E-flat to e-flat). Post new strings set-up is nice and low good for fingerstyle, which is what I play. This guitar sound and looks absolutely amazing!

It also comes with it's original Breedlove hard shell case with a black plush interior all in excellent condition.

The guitar will be in the exact condition I have advertised it and all the pics are taken the same day this adv. was posted.

My asking price is set more than reasonable, and sale priced which is already several points better than reasonably good , and is currently low as I'm willing to take it , so the b.o. option is not available.

This guitar is available for Local Pick-up in the Greater Toronto Area ; Meeting will need to be arranged at a pre-agreed area inside of a major mall within the GTA only.

Important notice for Local Pick-up only:

Local Pick-up will require a $2,000 deposit fee paid in advance via an e-transfer prior to meeting ; this will help ensure a commitment to complete the purchase ; the full amount deposit fee will be deducted from the listed selling price in the final payment.

Reverb is an On-line sales platform ; some have gotten the wrong idea that meeting is to have an opportunity to "try" the guitar to make a decision whether to purchase ; not so ; the only reason for meeting is to complete the transaction at the advertised sale price , also no re-negotiating the price ; and to give the buyer an opportunity to pay only for the guitar list price yet excluding the shipping cost and the obligatory platform sales taxes. There will be no handling of the guitar until it is paid for in full ; there are plenty of pictures and instrument information here in the advertisement to help with a decision to purchase. No Trades. This is a private sale and not a store shop.

Note: If you intend to pick up this instrument Locally please notify me first _before payment is made via Reverb so I can remove the shipping charge ! I do Not want to have to refund the shipping charge _it does not work out well at my end in the final balance of payment !

Important Notice for Local Pick-up - you will absolutely have to Mark the 'Received Item' on the Reverb phone app. and show me as you process , before i can hand the case and guitar over to you - afterward you may review it as you wish - but please be reminded , once paid , my sales are advertised as 'final sale & no return'.

This is a private sale but sales taxes are collected by Reverb on behalf of the CDN government via new rules for on-line sales for CDN residents.

Local Pick-up/?  message me about paying off of Reverb with an e-transfer or cash at place and time of meeting  _to avoid the platform's obligatory sales taxes collection.  There will be no re-negotiating the advertised sales price at that time ; and yes , I still will have to pay to Reverb their sales commission listing fee.

The sale is final and there is no refund policy.

Thanks for looking and let me know if you are interested - the best way to contact me is via direct messaging Reverb platform.

Thank you ! erik@ag
