Breedlove knows how to do a sunburst finish. This is apparent in the AD25/SM, Sunburst. With solid sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back, the sunburst turns out to a rich, medium hue, and the wood grain is still apparent through the finish.Breedlove’s Atlas dreadnoughts are different from anything else out there on the market — pinless bridges, JLD bridge truss system, scalloped bracing. These lead to a more resonant dreadnought that compares to much more expensive dreadnoughts.

Breedlove’s AD25/SM has a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back. The mahogany produces a warm, bright and “woody” sound, particularly in the bass, which is deep, yet not overpowering. The AD25/SM also comes with a soft cutaway, allowing for easy access to the uppermost frets. The AC25/SM does not come with a pickguard, which may seem odd to many dreadnought owners. However, a plastic pickguard will reduce the top’s resonance, and thus it’s nice to not have one, and, indeed, many dreadnought owners will remove a factory-installed pickguar. You may easily use a removable pickguard with the glossy finish, and thus you have the benefit of a more resonant top (no plastic sound quenchers) yet may also use picks without worry of scratching the finish.

Although a sitka/mahogany dreadnought will work well for many playing styles, this guitar works particularly well for strumming and slide playing. The strumming melts chords into one smooth wall of sound, and putting a slide to the AD25/SM results in clear, whiny individual notes with great sustain.

Breedlove’s AD25/SM has a black headstock along with glossy finish, which complement the mahogany well. Other features include gold Grover tuners, dot inlay pattern, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and Micarta nut (1 11/16″ width) and saddle. The model also comes with Breedlove’s hybrid soft shell case, which, unlike a floppy gig bag, provides definite protection for your instrument.

Michael Stone owns a small business that sells Breedlove acoustic dreadnought guitars.

will enamel spraypaint work on a guitar pickguard?

if i cover it with clear coat?
its made out of plastic

Typically, pick guards are constructed of a solid material or a veneeer for an important reason. They are not usually painted because the abrasion from the pick will wear any paint off. The idea is that solid material takes dents scratches and abrasion while paint scrapes off. Many guards have a thick piece of plastic covering anything from more plastic to a fine pearl inlaid wood. Enamel can work. Clear coat is not the solution to every problem. Clear coat is added shine and some protection but for the abuse a pick guard takes you need more than a typical clear coat which is too thin. Ideally you would need to apply multiple layers of a clear coat thus achieving a very fine finish. Several thin coats are better than less thick coats. There are products for getting a thick clear coating in a single layer (Nu Lustre 55 from Swing Paints: http://www.swingpaints.com/1555.htm ). If you want this to be of high quality then apply several thin layers of clear coating over the enamel. One potential challenge with the single epoxy coating is controlling the disbursement. It is thick and will spread out dripping over the edges before it sets. This will likely require using a file and rubbing smooth with steel wool. Unless this is a high-end instrument a layer of thick acetate over the paint would be the route I would take.
