Here we have a custom Breedlove C25 similar to that used by Madonna on tour. It features Figured Walnut back and sides, a Walnut neck and a figured Red Cedar top. This guitar features bindings of Bloodwood on the body and fingerboard along with a custom inlay of a beautiful horse crafted from MOP and Abalone. The top is also bordered in abalone and a Fishman Acoustic Matrix Natural II pickup is installed and ready for the stage.

Gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood body with Moonspruce on top for added precision and clarity, here in Bresnan’s GS body for a midsized guitar offering lots of power in an easy-playing package. Alessi tuners bring a touch of added elegance to the headstock, and Dan rings in the soundhole with one of his intricate, interwoven rosettes. His attention to detail is exquisite; the fit and finish is flawless here. Couple that with a slick setup, and you’ve got a candidate for World’s Best Guitar.

Dan and Sean Bresnan, keep ‘em coming! Here’s a brand new OM decked out with their premium stash Brazilian Rosewood that’s paired with Adirondack Spruce on top for added power and punch. The slim lower bout (at 15 inches) helps balance the bass and trebles, and Bresnan voiced the mids to bring it all together with warmth and a colorful palette. To boot, this OM features custom Alessi tuners (some of our industry favorite tuning machines) and Dan’s #3 rosette in interweaving segments of Brazilian Rosewood and Koa—plus a BRW bridge, cuz why not? Fit and finish are of course flawless, and the setup is just as glassy.

A Dan Bresnan GS model just broken in enough to be wide awake—yes, please! This gorgeous grand concert was built in 2011 and has definitely opened up sweetly for the balanced, rich voice it boasts today. We found the balanced response worked well for both fingerpicking and flatpicking, and the setup is an easy peasy one that feels effortless in Standard or DADGAD. Of course this one is decked out in Dan’s primo Brazilian Rosewood and European Spruce, here with a #1 rosette in BRW and Satinwood and Alessi tuners. Weighs in right at 4.5lbs, comes wrapped in a custom Ameritage case, and this Bresnan is ready for more action!

Dan Bresnan is back in business, with his son Sean right beside him at the bench. We are excited for our first brand new 2020 Bresnan GS! Jaw-dropping beautiful Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with a pale German Spruce top—yes, please. This GS is a fabulous fingerstyle instrument; deep and enveloping bass response paired with a full and potent treble register, and sweet clarity in between. It soaks up DADGAD like butter to bread, and tastes twice as rich. The short scale neck sweetens up the voice and keeps playability smooth and easy. Custom Alessi tuners are easy on the hands and the eyes, as is the Fossilized Walrus Ivory used for the nut, saddle, and bridge pins. The crown to this beauty? Bresnan’s interwoven mosaic rosette with Brazilian Rosewood, Koa, and Walnut.
