MacNichol Guitars has two factory blemish Breedlove American Series guitars available - an American C25/SRe, Herringbone, and an American D25/SRe, Herringbone. Both have light paste fill stripes. Paste fill is used to fill in the pores of the wood so that the polyurethane finish doesn't get into the pores. However, with these two guitars, the paste fill created white striping in the grain of the wood. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the tone or structure of the guitars.

Blemished Breedlove models come with the full manufacturer's warranty, however, the blemish is not covered. Blemished models only
have cosmetic blemishes that do not have any affect on the instrument's tone or structure.
