I don’t own a Breedlove, but they’re near the top of my list of acoustics I’d want.

Do it, they are really good guitars. I have a $700 model and a $500 model. I honestly couldn't tell them apart aside from aesthetics. They both have a nice bright crisp sound. No bridge pins so re-stringing is easy. Only mods I did was to put locking machine heads on them. I usually only have to do a half turn to get a string back in tune,

Christmas came and went. My father gave me some money, so I bought a Harley Benton. Been intrigued by them since my cousin told me about them. Dropped it off at my buddies for a setup, needed it bad, but man this thing is nice for the price. The appointments are great, locking tuners, control knobs with set screws, roasted maple neck, jumbo stn stl frets, Wilkinson tremolo bridge, belly cut and nice neck joint. From what I have heard, their cheap $100-$200 models are junk, but for $455.66 it's a hell of a guitar. I was quite impressed with it for the price.Is it perfect, hell no but well worth the price of admission.

So, screw the Harley Benton, on to the real deal. I live alone, have few bills and my house is paid for so...I bought an EVH Iconic series amp. The 15-Watt, 10" version, because I want a guitar and amp in most rooms. IDK when this was released but I will say Eddie knew what he wanted and got it. These amps are really clean in the sense that you can hear every note regardless of if you're rocking a clean or dirt channel. I drank a bunch of icepicks, grabbed my PRS and plugged in at 3AM last night, pissed off the neighbor's. If you are not pissing off the neighbor's, you aren't doing it right. So, I play Beat It on my phone to get psyched up, props to Steve Lukather, often overlooked on Thriller. I'm not an Eddie clone, can't play like him, and don't try, but he's great. I think that amp brought out the Eddie in me. Trills, artificial harmonics, tremolo bar dives... Side bar your Honor

Eddie blocked his Floyd Rose so he could only go down on pitch, not up

He had a vision and saw it through, if you can't be Edward, let me bring him to you, which he did. Fantastic and now my go to amp.
