  • Page 15: Changing Strings On Your Breedlove Acoustic Guitar

    Remember to change strings often for best tone. Breedlove Nylon String Guitars Breedlove Nylon string guitars are designed with the playability of a modern steel string, and the warm tone of a nylon string guitar. A steel-string neck profile, and low string height over a radiused fingerboard allow for fast fretting and chording, and great playing comfort.
  • Page 16 Tonewoods resonate freely thanks to a free-floating fingerboard extension, smaller neck and tail blocks, and a bolt-on neck. Breedlove mandolins are well-known for their easy playability. A radiused fretboard, low string height, ample string set separation, and a 1-3/16” nut width make them extremely comfortable.
  • Page 17 Breedlove mandolins have an adjustable bridge. Our factory setup is approximately .065” on the bass strings and .050” on the treble strings as measured at the 12th fret. A Breedlove Service Technician can recommend the right set-up for your style of play and desired tone.
