Larry Breedlove is the founder of Breedlove Guitars, although his brother Kim runs the company now. Larry fell in love shortly after opening the Oregon-based guitar company and moved to his native San Diego to be close to his sweetheart. It was in San Diego that Larry reconnected with his dear friend Bob Taylor and began working for the Taylor Guitar Company. Larry helped design many of the early models of the Taylor guitar lines as well as creating and working to improve the operations of the in-lay and other elements of the production of the instruments. He often said he felt lucky to be able to work at something he enjoyed!
