Everything starts with a pencil, including making better consumer choices

We’re looking at how we work, and using sustainable pencils to design sustainable guitars

At Breedlove, we’re all about sustainability. We use no clear-cut woods in any of our Sound Optimized® Made in Bend models and our new Organic Collection is sustainably sourced from individually harvested FSC-certified exotic tonewoods. We believe in doing all we can to respect and preserve our one home, planet earth. We know you feel the same. We’ve asked consumers to think about where their products come from. We’re trying to do that, too. You’ll find lots of pencils in any woodshop and that’s certainly true in Bend, where we’ve just begun using Forest Choice.

Forest Choice, by Palomino, were the first FSC-certified pencils available and we’re pleased to put them on every luthier’s bench.
