NEW Breedlove Bossa Nova Nylon String Guitar w/Anthem Pickup, Case

Our store has been an authorized Breedlove dealer for many years. Breedlove recently made some design changes to a few of their models, and offered their dealers extra-low prices on some of the “old” models to close them out. This is one such guitar.

The Bossa Nova was formerly under Breedlove’s “Master Class” series, the highest level of guitars made in their Bend, OR custom shop. Now, they have a sub-category of “Focus” guitars within the Master Class series. The current Bossa Nova model is one of these Focus guitars, and now has a Redwood top instead of the Western Red Cedar top on the former model. It also has ivoroid binding instead of black. The current Bossa Nova’s list price of $4,669 reflects an increase of $670, mostly for the new top wood.

So: THIS is one of the older Bossa Nova models with the cedar top and black binding. It also has an LR Baggs Anthem pickup installed; one of our favorite pickups on the market now. Some older Bossa Novas had an LR Baggs Element VTC system, but the Anthem is a bit of an upgrade. The older Bossa Nova used to have a “street price” of around $2,999. We’ve taken an extra $500 off that on this discontinued model special! You will still get Breedlove’s lifetime warranty with it.

This guitar just arrived in our shop and is absolutely pristine; zero shopwear!

The Bossa Nova model is a really fantastic “crossover” or “fusion” nylon string guitar. It was designed for steel string players who want a nylon string sound, but want a steel string “feel” to the guitar. It has a 1 7/8-inch nut, 14 frets to the body, radiused fingerboard and soft cutaway to allow easy access to the upper frets. Cedar top gives it a very warm sound, and East Indian Rosewood back & sides capture a nice bass resonance.

Breedlove’s deluxe hardshell case is included.

Shipping within the continental US is FREE by UPS Ground. Serious international buyers may contact us for a shipping quote, but please see our information below before you contact us.

This guitar is also for sale in our “brick & mortar” store in Takoma Park, MD (just outside of Washington, DC) – so we will end the listing if it sells to an in-store customer. If you are within driving distance of us, you can of course come to try it out anytime during our open hours (11-7 Tuesday through Saturday; 11-5 Sunday & Monday).

About our eBay listings:

We take the time to write an individualized description on each and every item. We realize that buying instruments sight unseen can be very tricky, and we fully disclose any cosmetic flaws and playability issues on the item. If we are selling a new item and there is any evidence of shopwear, this will be included in the description (normally we will have also discounted the price appropriately). Check our feedback and you’ll see many of our buyers commented that the instrument arrived to them in even better condition that they were expecting. You can bid/buy with confidence—we offer a 7 day return policy.

Notes on international shipping: Serious bidders or buyers outside the continental US must contact us for a shipping quote before purchasing. Please include your city, country and postal code. We generally answer shipping inquiries Monday through Friday. Some information and guidelines for you: our preferred method of shipping internationally is USPS Express Mail. This method carries an insurance limit of $650. If the item is valued at over this cost, we can only ship by this method if the buyer assumes responsibility for any amount over $650 should the item be lost or damaged in shipping. To fully insure more expensive items, we will have to use UPS Worldwide or Global Express, both of which can range in cost from $300-$700. Some countries such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand & Hungary have very restrictive size limits on Express Mail, and in these cases we MUST ship items like guitars and banjos via UPS. You may have to pay customs duties as determined by your local jurisdiction upon the item’s arrival. We have no way of anticipating what these costs may be. Sorry, we do not adjust invoices to reflect a lower price for customs duties.

7-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
