Breedlove builds the easiest playing, best sounding 12-strings in the world. The secrets include: 1) the asymmetrical headstock allowing all 12-strings to approach the nut straight on, 2) The Delta pinless bridge which makes it far easier to change strings, and, most importantly 3) the Breedlove Bridge Truss which substantially reduces the tension in the strings allowing for full overtone projection and ease in playing – even bar chords. With the bridge truss we are able to use the warmer cedar top which is ideal for the full 12-string sound, but rarely used by other companies due to the force of the string tension.
