I saw on Muzzle of Bees yesterday that Breedlove is making 25 "Jeff Tweedy Signature Model Guitars," that are, of course, being dedicated to Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy. This is exciting (and depressing) news for me for two reasons:
1) I am a huge Jeff Tweedy fan. I talk about him every day. A lot everyday. It's creepy.
2) My guitar is Breedlove, and I really like it.
Now for the very depressing news:
The guitar will have a pricetag of $6,000. I would have to sell my left kidney on the black market to afford this guitar.
Description:
“Both Wilco fans and guitar enthusiasts in general should be excited about this guitar: it is built from beautiful solid master-grade Indian Rosewood with a master-grade Red Spruce top in 12-fret OOO body size. Furthermore, it’s got a herringbone rosette and top purfling, an L.R. Baggs M1 pickup, Tweedy designed Honeycomb Inlays in the fingerboard and a Flower and Bees inlay in the headstock. It will be individually signed by Jeff Tweedy and Kim Breedlove. And it will be awesome.”
If you want to buy one (and maybe give it to me?:), this store seems to have one left! Hurry.
