Breedlove Offers Concerto Acoustic Guitar Body in New Guitar Models
Comfortable guitar body shape now available in eight models, offering the volume of a dreadnought and complex tonal resonance
Breedlove Guitars announces new guitar models featuring the Breedlove Concerto, a proprietary body shape that delivers a higher level of guitar resonance, volume and intonation. This handcrafted guitar shape was designed to elicit the volume of a classic dreadnought, but with more lush, complex tonal resonance and a comfortable form whether sitting or standing.
- The Breedlove Concerto body shape is now available in eight Breedlove acoustic guitar models:
- Exotic Amazon Concerto E Adirondack Spruce – Brazilian Rosewood
- Masterclass Brazilian Concerto E Bearclaw Sitka Spruce – Brazilian Rosewood
- Masterclass Concerto E Adirondack Spruce – Cocobolo
- Legacy Concerto E Adirondack Spruce – Koa
- Premier Concerto Copper E Sitka Spruce – East Indian Rosewood
- Frontier Concerto E Mahogany – Mahogany
- Oregon Concerto E Sitka Spruce – Myrtlewood
- Oregon Concerto E Myrtlewood – Myrtlewood
The Breedlove Concerto is crafted from responsibly harvested exotic tonewoods such as myrtlewood, mahogany, indian rosewood, koa, cocobolo, and Brazilian rosewood. The body shape lets each wood sing in a way not heard before, with a design that increases the interior air space and reduces the sound hole size to decrease air resistance.
Each Breedlove Concerto model surpasses the classic big body sound of a dreadnought and features a more pronounced waist, making it more comfortable to hold and play while sitting, and approachable while standing. The thinner Breedlove neck profile also invites more flexibility in finger movement across the fingerboard. Learn more about the concerto body shape.

The Stage Exotic Series models include:
Stage Exotic Concert CE Sitka Spruce – Cocobolo
Exotic cocobolo with sap wood accents and highly figured grain patterns offers a pleasing aesthetic. Cocobolo is in the same family as Brazilian rosewood, yet significantly denser, enabling it to efficiently project bass tones while delivering Breedlove’s famous warm, embellishing tone. Side-mounted electronics and a built-in tuner simplify adjustments while performing. View instrument.
Stage Exotic Concert CE Sitka Spruce – Myrtlewood
The myrtlewood in this Exotic Concert—sourced on Oregon’s West Coast—delivers Breedlove’s acclaimed balance in tone. Considered the ideal marriage of rosewood, mahogany and maple, myrtlewood is similar in density to mahogany, but with a broader tonal balance in both bass and treble tones. The figure in the all-solid wood back and sides gives each instrument its own unique look and beauty. View instrument.
Stage Exotic Concert CE Sitka Spruce – Ziricote
Ziricote is similar to Brazilian rosewood in density and appearance. Highly figured cross grain patterns give each instrument a unique look. Attention to detail in its design, body shape, bracing pattern and neck profile results in an extraordinary, stage-ready guitar. View instrument.

Pursuit Exotic Concert CE Sitka Spruce – Myrtlewood
Myrtlewood grows along Oregon’s Pacific Coast and is Breedlove’s most popular tonewood. It’s the ideal blend of rosewood, mahogany and maple in presenting balance across the tonal spectrum. Sonically, the Pursuit Exotic Concert Sitka – Myrtlewood is one of Breedlove’s best all-around guitars. It’s ideally matched with Sitka spruce for an alive feel and presence. View instrument.
Pursuit Exotic Concert CE Sitka Spruce – Cocobolo
Cocobolo is the densest tonewood used in any Breedlove instrument. With only 12% moisture content, it sinks in water. As a member of the same family as Brazilian rosewood, cocobolo is exceptional at reflecting bass tones while still delivering a balance of mid-range and higher tones. The solid Sitka top is ideal for driving the music in harmony with the cocobolo back. View instrument.
