Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned this guitar for 7 months and I'm very satisfied.
Pros:
- The Breedlove sounds much better then other guitars at this price. I played a lot of guitars before I settled on this one. Tone is bright and clear but also has warmth.
- Construction is solid. It's a joy to play and has a great feel.
- The built in "Passport Tuner VTC active pickup" is awesome. The backlit tuner works great.
- Guitar sounds great when amped. Pickup has low, high and volume controls.
- Looks pretty.
Cons:
- It doesn't have as much bass as my 15 year-old Yahama FG-450SA. Not to say bass response is lacking... it just can't match a Jumbo (but you wouldn't expect it too anyway.) Easily corrected when amped using the built in pickup.
- 9V Battery holder was a little loose and knocked. I padded the battery with some cloth and that fixed it.
- Can only use light-gauge strings. (Just something to be aware of...)

Description:
The New Passport PLUS C250/SF, Sunburst is inspired by the Custom Shop C25 shape and voice. The C25 shape is highly versatile, comfortable and efficient. Our top selling shape for over 20 years. This new model features the amazing tone of the bridge truss bracing system for sustain and complexity in each note. Versatile Sitka Spruce top and classic sunburst Flamed Maple back and sides make this a top value and sound. This guitar has both the new electronics and lighter weight bracing in the top and back for increased resonance. Enjoy the Passport Tuner VTC pickup with the back-lit chromatic tuner for easy to read tuning indicator. We've also moved the 9V battery to the end pin area. Easy to play, fun to play out.
