Breedlove Discovery S Concerto Sitka Spruce/Mahogany

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Breedlove Discovery S Concerto Sitka Spruce/Mahogany is a stunning, compact acoustic that's a dream for any style of guitarist. The Concerto model is Breedlove's largest body size, imparting a rich, sonorous sounds with oodles of sustain that lingers after every strum. I fever there was a Breedlove for the flatpickers out there, this is it. This model features a classic choice of Sitka Spruce top for a guitar with plenty of clarity and projection, and Ecotonewood layered mahogany back and sides.

As a company, one of Breedlove's main focuses is on the ecological impact of the materials they use to produce their superb instruments. To this end, they insist on several policies as a company including never utilising wood from clear-cut stock, and only using fallen or sustainably felled trees. The result is a guitar built with fantastic quality materials without impacting the future of the environment.

Features We Love:

Solid Top

Breedlove guitars all sport sustainably sourced solid wood tops for maximum tonal character and projection. This model features a handsome Sitka Spruce top. Solid spruce tops are a classic mainstay of acoustic guitar building, where the spruce delivers a loud, clear ringing tone with tons of natural projection.

Ecotonewood Back & Sides

Breedlove's Layered Ecotonewood back & sides aren't just the old basic plywood with a fancy veneer, instead, utilising three layers of sustainably sourced tonewood. This construction method has been developed by Breedlove to deliver all the durability and low-cost-benefits of layered woods, while avoiding the typically soft-center of ply that can dampen tonal response. The result is a guitar that's still packed full of superb tone and character, without breaking the bank.

Concerto Body Shape

Breedlove's Concerto is their biggest body shape. Like the halfway point between an oversized Concert shape and a curvy version of a classic dreadnought, the Concerto imparts giant, sonorous acoustic sound with buckets of sustain and tone that's particularly ideal for the flatpickers and bluegrass players out there.
