Breedlove Discovery S Concerto European-African Mahogany Acoustic Guitar

European spruce, from the mighty wilds of Europe, is the classic voice of the acoustic guitar - bracing, rich and sonorous, with a shimmering tone that lingers long after every strum. This sustainable Designed in Bend Breedlove Discovery S Concerto European African Mahogany Guitar - the first guitar that will last a lifetime is crafted with earth-conscious, sonically superior EcoTonewood technology, and rewards heavy strumming with a bold, lush sound. A slim, fast neck and narrow nut width facilitate easy, comfortable play, while a pinless delta bridge makes string changing a breeze. A simple natural finish allows the solid top’s raw beauty to shine and the African mahogany back and sides add warmth and clarity. Discover the Breedlove Eco Collection - where the guitar meets the forest.

Sustainable and Clear Cut Free

Made from sustainably sourced exotic and native tonewoods, no clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. 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.

Breedlove Pinless Bridge

Breedlove’s pinless Delta bridge is a distinctive element, alright, with a sleek, modern contour that adds an extra bit of unexpected beauty to every instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcome functionality while anchoring great sound. Beginners love the fact that string changes are much easier without having to wrestle a traditional pin bridge. Pros love it for the same reason! No more looking for lost pins during a fast backstage string swap. And its low profile makes for perfect right-hand damping.

Ecotonewood Back and Sides

With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture. Coupled with Breedlove’s deep research into revolutionary body shapes; building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound of each guitar in the ECO Collection. And, Breedlove creates these better-sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price point. Breedlove EcoTonewood - it is where music meets the trees.

Solid Wood Tops

Along with its body shape, a guitar’s top is the defining element of its sound, driving, through its vibration, the key aspects of volume, tone, sustain, and projection. Spruce will, due in part to its famous stiffness-to-weight ratio, ring loud and clear. A solid wood top translates those vibrations with more immediacy and purity of tone and reacts more directly with the intent of a player. If you are at an intermediate level or above, you will appreciate the instantly recognizable benefits of a solid wood top.

The Concerto Body Shape

Introducing the Breedlove Concerto, a new guitar shape created to elicit more volume than a classic dreadnought, and more lush, complex tonal resonance in a comfortable body shape that feels just right. Loud, textured, and supremely satisfying.

European Spruce Top

Starting in late June 2022, this model will transition at retail from Sitka spruce to European spruce as Breedlove continues to update the guitars with the most sustainable sourcing available on the market. Rest assured any ECO Collection guitar uses only fully sustainable, clear-cut free tonewoods.
