Breedlove

Rich tone swells from this beautiful dreadnought guitar, built with quality woods and Breedlove's painstaking attention to detail.

Breedlove Passport guitars are designed for ultimate portability without tonal sacrifice. These comfortable, easy-to-play instruments are the perfect choice for the musician on the move.

Built on the popular dreadnought platform, the body width and depth of the Breedlove Passport D200/SMP guitar produce an ideal sound chamber for the mid and upper-mid range frequencies. The sound is balanced and dynamic, with plenty of clarity and projection, so your sound can cut through nearly any mix. Whether strumming on some rhythmic chords, or getting wild on a show-stopping flat pick solo, the dreadnought guitar sound holds its own alongside almost any instrumentation.

The Breedlove Passport acoustic guitar has a solid spruce top that offers rich tone, with lots of presence and clarity, while the maple body adds bold mid-range projection. The bolt-on neck joint creates a sturdy neck with lasting sustain. The rugged mahogany neck and strong rosewood bridge and fretboard add subtleties to the tone, with attention paid to the crispness of the acoustic guitar.

The 25-1/2" scale, 1-11/16" nut width, soft V-neck shape, and 16" fretboard radius aid in providing comfort for intricate finger movements up and down the acoustic guitar's 20 frets. Dressed in a soft satin finish, and featuring chrome hardware, and Grover tuners, this Breedlove guitar sings with luxurious appointments, yet it is offered at a price that won't break the bank.

I had no intention of buying a guitar when i came across this Breedlove.  After playing several other famous-name guitars in the $1500-plus category, I played this Breedlove and was stunned by its volume, bass response, even tone and superb action.  It easily outstripped several of the far more expensive guitars. The other guitar players in the room were equally impressed...and surprised. I bought it.

Value:

Fantactic value.

Overall:

I first saw Breedlove D200/SMP Passport acoustic guitar in a music store over a year ago. 

Its curvy lines and its satin finish caught my eye. 

It was love at the first strum. 

This is a great guitar in every way, great craftsmanship, great fit and finish and an awesome sound/tone. 

If I didn’t already have so many guitars I would have paid its regular asking price right then and there. 

But still I wanted it; I decided to keep an eye on it for when it goes on sale. 

So, finally a year later I picked it up on a good sale. 

And am I happy to add it to my arsenal of guitars. 

I have many solid-tops and all-solid-wood acoustics but none of them has a maple body. 

Just like a Tele, Strat and a Les Paul where they each have their own distinctive sound the same goes for acoustics. 

This maple body produces a well-defined low notes, crisp highs and clear mids and it has a good volume. 

The soft V-neck is to die for, great for small hands like mine. 

And I absolutely love the satin finish on the body and the neck, the neck is fast. 

This guitar definitely ranks at the top of this price point and it even competes very well with more expensive guitars. 

It also comes with a padded gigbag.

 

This is my third Breedlove acoustic guitar. 

I have the Passport Nylon string with a narrow neck and satin finish body&neck which I also love. 

My third breedlove is actually the very first Breedlove I bought which is also a Passport concert model that looks awesome but, the neck is a bit bulky and it doesn’t produces the low notes very well like the D200/SMP and it has a much higher price tag.

 

I am 100% satisfied with the Passport D200/SMP.  I LOVE IT!!

I wanted a simple, low-cost guitar that I could take with me on road trips, beach, etc.      I didn't want to worry about damage or theft on one of my premium instruments for these use cases.      This guitar is no frills and simple design but it sounds and plays fantastic for the price.      I tried similarly priced ones and sent them back.      This Breedlove is a keeper.      GREAT, GREAT value guitar!!!

SUPERFUN

Overall:
My last guitar was an Epiphone P150 and this is the guitar I decided on after 2 weeks at my local Guitar Center. I went there every day, drove the guys there crazy asking all sorts of silly questions, and demoed everything within my budget ($700). After 2 weeks, the 3 guitars I ultimately narrowed it down to were the Epiphone Masterbilt (Solid Top - 550), Seagull Maritime (All solid wood - 650), and this Breedlove D200/SMP (Solid Top - 300). I did multiple "blind" tests... and kept coming back to the Breedlove because of how efficient the design was...and how FUN FUN FUN it is to play! This Atlas Bridge thing where the strings go right into the bridge with no pins is a very simple design, and I think it is partly why the Breedlove has such great volume. I also like the action on this guitar, its quite easy to play and there is no buzzing anywhere on the fretboard. The sound is probably a bit brighter than both the Epiphone Masterbilt and the Seagull Maritime I played but I like this. The Seagull Maritime probably had a slightly better tone than the Breedlove but I was having a hard time getting used to the wider nut on it (My glove size is Large). Another thing I liked about the Breedlove is that there is little (if any) lacquer on the wood. This adds to the volume but may make maintenance/humidification a bit more important. It also lacks a pick-guard which, again, I think adds to the volume and efficiency, and gives it this pure and simple look, which I also like. So I got the Guitar Center 10 year warranty on this thing and after having seen how much time and effort I put into choosing my next guitar, they told me I had up to 2 months to come back and exchange it for something else. However, I play my Breedlove every single day and haven't had the time to go back and demo anything else! The guitar is made in Korea and while I was a bit apprehensive about its origin at first, I can see how the setup and tune that Breedlove does in Oregon makes a world of difference (when comparing to other, foreign made guitars). I would recommend the Breedlove D200/SMP for intermediate players who are looking for an extremely efficient guitar with strong volume. If I had to characterize this guitar in one word, that word would be "FUN"

I bought it slightly used(condition 1)from musician's friend for 100 dollars cheaper than new. You can't beat that value for a beater guitar. I use this one when I don't want my Martin to get messed up. Pretty good sound, easy playing neck and a quality look. I put a pick guard on mine but it looks okay without one. I got a small amount of fret buzz that a good set up took care of. For the price it is the best I played. I wanted a guitar I didn't have to be extremely careful with but didn't want to sacrifice playability and sound. This one fits the bill perfectly.
