Breedloves remain one of the mainstream acoustic guitar brands I’d love to have one of, along with a Seagull.*Breedloves kicks ass, buy one
There’s a luthier in Illinois named Jon Kammerer. I own a few of his electrics and one acoustic. He made a headless acoustic bass model, and I’d love to get one of those…made as a baritone instead.
I’ve never dropped a pick into my guitar on accident, but I DID do that as an experiment with my first acoustic. It did take a while to recover.
