New Breedlove Guitar

Kevin recently purchased a Breedlove C25 Custom Master-class acoustic guitar at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville. Having fitted a set of "Keith Pegs" to change between various open tunings quickly on stage, this is now Kevin's main performance instrument. Kevin will still use the faithful Taylor guitars on gigs and his favourite Gibson "Doves in Flight" at home (headstock featured on web design above)
