Breedlove Guitars AC25-SF Plus Review
Breedlove knows how to do a sunburst finish. This is apparent in the AC25/SF, Plus. With flamed maple sides/back, the sunburst finish complements the wood's grain pattern; yet for the most part, the solid flamed maple is clearly visible in the guitar's back. The top is solid sitka spruce and, like the back, the sunburst finish complements the wood well, although because of the bridge and soundhole, not as much of the center section is seen. The AC25/SF, Plus has a harp-like sound to it, and as a result of the concert body and flamed maple back/sides, a well-balanced sound with clear string distinction.

Guitar Intonation Tips
Did you ever tune your guitar and play a few of the chords on the first two or three frets and find that it seems to be right on pitch? But then as you play up the neck around the tenth fret or higher, it is out of tune, and the higher you go the worse it sounds. On the other hand if you tune the instrument so that it sounds good on the upper frets it is out of tune on the lower ones. A common way of expressing this problem is to say that the guitar is not "true" or the intonation is bad. Before you start adjusting the bridge to fix the intonation, put on a new set of strings. A worn out or bad string is usually the culprit.
