Sinker Redwood - Brazilian Rosewood

Premier Parlor Concertina CE LTD

Limited Edition

The Premier Concertina CE Sinker Redwood – Brazilian rosewood is a collector-level acoustic-electric guitar delivering an exceptionally alive, balanced, and resonate sound. The smaller body Concertina is surprisingly comfortable to hold and play, yet loud and full of unexpected, room-filling projection. Using our Sound Optimization process, our craftsmen found the right frequency separation between the Redwood top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides to maximize the classic robust sound desired by the professional touring artist and the studio musician, to the collector. With a shorter neck – 12 frets to the body – it has a string tension that makes playing so enjoyable, you will not want to put this guitar down.

Features

Breedlove, always pioneering, has been building with redwood tops for over 25 years. A majestic native tonewood, it has a stiffness similar to spruce, but offers fingerstylists a rich, warm palette with a soft cedar-like attack and overtones often described like wine, with hints of chocolate and cinnamon. Flatpickers love its distinctive note separation, and its simple beauty connects directly with the earthiness of its sound.

Guitar Portrait

We are pleased to present these detailed specifications for your Breedlove guitar, which was designed and handcrafted in Bend, Oregon. In addition to its dimensions, we have listed every piece of solid wood used in this model, giving its common name, scientific name and country of origin. We use no clear-cut wood. We salvage fallen timber or individually harvest trees to minimize impact on the forest. You can travel domestically in the USA worry free with your Made in Bend Breedlove—no permits are needed, but we do suggest printing this information and carrying it with your guitar to avoid misunderstandings or prolonged waits with customs officials. If you plan on trekking internationally, you will need to obtain a Guitar Passport from the US Fish & Wildlife service, otherwise known as a CITES Pre-Convention Musical Instrument Certificate. We are pleased to help you secure the required permits through our concierge services by calling us at 877.800.4848.
