Sustainable and Clear Cut Free

Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As Breedlove moves towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest, and the planet.

EcoTonewood Back and Sides

And, Breedlove creates these better-sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price point.

Mahogany Top, Back and Sides

Mahogany pairs well with spruce tops as well as with itself in single species guitars, and both combinations define much of American roots music.
