Breedlove Revival 000 JTLE Guitars

For those of you who want to harness the Grammy-winning, rowdy-fan punching power of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Breedlove introduces the Jeff Tweedy JTLE series Revival 000 guitars. Jeff has been a fan of the Revival 000 guitars since he first came across one in 2006.

This will be a very rare release. At most, 25 JTLE Deluxe versions will be built, and even rarer, five "Exotic" versions will be built with Brazilian Rosewood. Here are the stats on each:

Breedlove Revival 000-12 JTLE Deluxe

  • Revival 000 body shape
  • Select Master Grade Red Spruce Top
  • Select Master Grade East Indian Rosewood Back & Sides
  • Ivoroid Body & Neck Binding
  • Gold Pearl "Honeycomb" Position Markers
  • "Flower & Bees" Headstock Inlay
  • Bone Nut & Saddle
  • Instrument Label Signed by Jeff Tweedy & Kim Breedlove
  • Limited quantity - no more than 25 will be built
  • Retail Price... $5,999

Breedlove Revival 000-12 JTLE Exotic

  • Select Solid Brazilian Rosewood Back & Sides
  • Extremely Limited quantity - no more than five will be built
  • Instrument Label Signed by Jeff Tweedy & Kim Breedlove
  • Retail Price... $8,499

So what's the buzz on all this bee business? Apparently, Tweedy read a book called The Queen Must Die by beekeeper / author William Longgood, which spawned a fascination with bees. Breedlove took this idea to the extreme, permanently tattooing Jeff's signature model with honeycombs and bee-themed aesthetics.
