Breedlove Organic Collection Signature Concertina Acoustic-Electric Guitar Copper Burst

OVERVIEW


All-solid sustainably sourced wood acoustic-electric with torrefied top and Breedlove Natural Sound electronics.


Combined with its sustainably sourced all-solid African mahogany back and sides and torrefied European spruce top, the Breedlove Signature Concertina is an intimate, powerful instrument. We at Musician's Friend think you'll be surprised by the small body's "aged" all-solid wood dynamics, enhanced by forward X bracing and Breedlove's Sound Optimization research. Additionally, 12-fret guitars land the bridge closer to the top's waist, making for glassy, creamy trebles and round, balanced bass. With this Breedlove Organic Collection model, you'll get a classically rich, immediately identifiable tone.
Sustainably sourced tonewood with torrefied top
At Musician's Friend, we love that no clear-cut woods are used in the Breedlove Organic Collection, only sustainably sourced all-solid FSC Certified exotic tonewoods and native myrtlewood. But we're even more impressed with the sound. The "aged" power of torrefied European spruce tops is every bit the match for high-end U.S. models. Torrefaction—essentially roasting the wood—doesn't just help you sound great, but makes the instrument easier to maintain in light of temperature and humidity changes.
Breedlove Concertina body and slim neck profile
You'll be surprised by the Breedlove Concertina's parlor-like body's "aged" all-solid wood dynamics and delighted by the short-scale facility of play. Breedlove's slim neck profile will provide you with hours of comfortable play, even with smaller hands.
Optimized for sound and built for performance
Breedlove Natural Sound electronics will help you sound better and play more by placing controls right where you need them—in the soundhole for quick, on-the-strum access. Volume and tone are easily addressed with soundhole-mounted controls.
The ideal guitar for the eco-friendly player
Breedlove has made a name for itself in developing beautifully crafted instruments with a distinctive, unique sound. With the release of the Breedlove Organic Collection, Breedlove steps up their game by offering sustainably harvested all-solid acoustic-electrics at an affordable price. The Breedlove Signature Concertina is a winning combination for the player seeking a unique sound from responsibly harvested woods.
More on the Breedlove Organic Collection
Designed in Bend, Oregon, with no synthetic materials and half the glue, the Breedlove Organic Collection makes four great-sounding lightweight, responsive series of instruments accessible at revolutionary prices. Each wood combination comes in Breedlove's three distinctive, popular shapes—Concerto, Concert and 12-fret Concertina. The Signature Series and Wildwood Series also come in the new travel-size Companion shape. As Breedlove owner Tom Bedell says, "Saving the world's forests never sounded so good."
