With its rounded cutaway, asymmetrical headstock, and asymmetrical, dual-scimitar shaped bridge, this Ed Gerhard Signature model has an unmistakable look. This guitar’s original electronics were replaced with a K&K Pure Mini in 2020, and earlier in its life, Breedlove repaired the original JLD bridge truss, redressed the frets, and adjusted the action. The action is somewhat high, but plenty of saddle remains for adjustment. It’s in very clean condition but has two visible streaks on the neck where the case’s neck supports bled purple color into the neck finish.
