THE CONCERTINA BODY SHAPE

Breedloves small body guitar, delivering a surprisingly clear, crisp, loud sound. Its 12-frets to the body design make it a joy to play. Extensive Sound Optimization engineering has resulted in a body shape that has a bigger sound and is more comfortable to play than a traditional parlor.

MYRTLEWOOD TOP, BACK & SIDES

Popularized by Breedlove, myrtlewood, from the windblown Oregon coast, combines the best elements of rosewood, mahogany and maplerich bass, warm midrange and clear, bright treblesfor truly versatile guitars. Each sonically distinct instrument is individualized by the gnarled, wildly varied, but always arresting grain patterns.

BREEDLOVE PINLESS BRIDGE

Breedloves 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.

BREEDLOVE NECK

Breedlove guitarsfeature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands.The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability.The labor-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.
