At Breedlove, we design and craft the finest sounding, most comfortable playing, hand-crafted guitars. Instead of adopting traditional body shapes and following the status quo, we blaze our own trails. Breedlove unveiled the new Concertina body shape at the 2018 NAMM show the opening morning, surrounded by guitar enthusiasts, players, dealers, media and other attendees. Above you can see a short behind the scenes video of the unveiling.

The Concerto, introduced in 2017, is designed using Sound Optimization to deliver the big, lush sound of larger guitars, while being more comfortable to hold and play. Breedlove maintained the defined waist, while significantly increasing the lower bout sound chamber to enable notes to blossom for a more complex sound than the percussive sound of traditional dreadnoughts.
