About the Concerto Body Shape
When we set out to create a guitar that would surpass the classic big body sound of the dreadnought, we didn’t just want it to be loud. We sought to bring out more tonal complexity, and to offer a much more comfortable playing experience, too. Introducing the new Breedlove Concerto, a new guitar shape created to elicit more volume than a classic dreadnought, and more lush, complex tonal resonance in a comfortable body shape that feels just right. Loud, textured, and supremely satisfying.
We dial in just the right frequency for each piece of exotic tonewood, bringing out its special characteristics so you hear not just volume, but a palette of distinct tonal flavors. Crafted from woods like myrtlewood, mahogany, rosewood, koa, cocobolo, and Brazilian, the Concerto shape lets each wood resonate in a way you’ve never heard before.
Musician & Engineer Luke Basile Explains the Benefits of the New Concerto Body Shape
We recently took the full lineup of new Concerto guitars to Rainmaker Studios and spent some time with musician Luke Basile. As an audio engineer, studio / session musician and live performer, we felt Luke was in a unique position to speak about the various benefits of this new body shape from a number of angles. In this short video, Luke explains his background as a musician and a player – and outlines the ways this new body shape allows him more versatility in the studio and on stage.
