What we say:

At A Glance:

The Concert model is Breedlove's most popular, delivering a balance between compact comfort and big body sound that lends itself superbly to any playing situation. This 12 string model delivers all the lush roar and chime of a 12 string guitar, filling any room and mix with that big sound, in spite of this guitars comfortable, compact body size.

This model features a solid top, and layered back and sides, of Myrtlewood. Native to the Oregon coast, Myrtlewood captures the deep bass of rosewood, the warmth of mahogany and that glassy treble of maple, all in a single wood with a gorgeous grain.

The other great features include the slim Breedlove profile mahogany neck, pinless bridge and superb appointments like the handsome rosette and body binding and the Amber finish.

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 Myrtlewood top. This charming wood is native to the Oregon coast in the USA, and captures the deep bass of rosewood, the warmth of mahogany and that glassy treble of maple, all in a single wood with a gorgeous grain.

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. In this case, a layer of mahogany is sandwiched between two layers of Myrtlewood for a rich, complex tone and handsome grain pattern. 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.

Concert Body Shape

Breedlove's Concert is their most popular body shape, favoured by a host of players thanks to its well balanced and comfortable profile feels compact, but doesn't sound it! It generates an articulate tone with plenty low end without being boomy, and lends itself to everything from precise fingerpicking to full on big strums. That balanced tone is even more important when it's powering that classic big 12-string sound.
