Breedlove Discovery S Companion Red Cedar/African Mahogany

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Breedlove Discovery S Concertina Cedar/Mahogany is a stunning and truly compact acoustic that's a dream for the guitarist on the move. The Concertina model is Breedlove's smallest body size and delivers a truly portable guitar that's easy to take with you anywhere without compromising on tone or playability. This model features a classic choice of Red Cedar top for a level of warmth that belies its compact size, 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.

Concertina Body Shape

Breedlove's Companion is their most compact size and a truly travel-ready guitar. Historically, guitarists looking to take their guitar on the move faced the trade-off between lugging around a full size instrument, or settling for substandard tone and playability. Not so with Breedlove's Concertina models.
