European Spruce - Myrtlewood

Artista Pro Series Dreadnought Concerto Burnt Amber CE

The sound you have always dreamt of owning in a guitar you can actually afford. The classic dreadnought combines spruce over rosewood, a pairing famed for deep bass, scooped mids, and bright trebles. The Artista Pro Concerto bends tradition into an even more distinctive large format guitar, one that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing sound or projection. Its all-solid Oregon myrtlewood back and sides boast that familiar rosewood thrum—as well as its blossom of overtones—tempered by a warmer middle and airy, strong trebles that balance every chord. A European spruce top drives and focuses that power and projection. This is a showpiece guitar you can take on the road. Decorated with our unique burnt amber burst finish that climbs from the soundboard up the back of the neck, flush with all Artista appointments—brass inlays, Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics, and a travel-ready hardcase—this guitar stands atop the apex of the Organic Pro Collection.

Features

Sustainable & 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 we move 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.

We are pleased to present these very detailed specifications for your 2022 Breedlove acoustic guitar, which was designed in Bend, Oregon and crafted in China. In addition to dimensions, we have listed every piece of wood in this model: its common name, scientific name, and country where the tree grew. We use no clear-cut wood. We either salvage dead trees or individually harvest to minimize the impact on the forest. You can travel globally with your Breedlove worry free. No permits are needed. That said, it might be helpful to have this information on hand if you are traveling internationally.  We suggest printing out this information and carrying it with your guitar to avoid any misunderstanding or time-consuming waits with border customs officials.
