Questions I ask myself when buying a guitar, how does the n come feel in my hand, is the neck comfortable to play. How does the guitar sound, I don’t worry too much about pickups in most guitars as I will change them out if the guitar sounds good acoustically, feels good, then I will figure out what I am wanting tonally from the guitar. I’ve played quite a few Breedlove guitars over the years that have come through the guitar shop I teach at, I liked all that and have played. Hope this is helpful
