Breedlove "Chuck McCabe" J-25 E 2002
Breedlove "Chuck McCabe" J-25 E 2002
This wonderful Breedlove was built for and played by beloved singer-songwriter, recording artist, staff writer, song clinician and troubadour, Chuck McCabe. Chuck was a prince of a man, gods rest him. He loved loved loved this instrument, and clearly infused it with a hefty dose of his own hugely-good vibes.. If you’ve ever been on the lookout for a guitar with its own subwoofer, this might be the beast for you! Huge rumble, but plenty of sparkle, as well. It’s in spectacularly good condition, as well. Must be played to be appreciated, so come in and play it!
The good folks at Breedlove calculated late in 2020 what it would cost to replicate all of the features found on this 2002 guitar and came up with a figure of $8800. The asking, though, is $7500. A bargain, by any standards! And a very special instrument,
