Solid Exotic Tonewood Tops
Along with its body shape, a guitar’s top is the defining element of its sound, driving, through its vibration, the key aspects of volume, tone, sustain and projection. Spruce will, due in part to its famous stiffness-to-weight ratio, ring loud and clear. A solid wood top translates those vibrations with more immediacy and purity of tone, and reacts more directly with the intent of a player. If you are at an intermediate level or above, you will appreciate the instantly recognizable benefits of a solid wood top.

The Concert Body Shape
The Concert is our most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.
Koa Top, Back and Sides
Koa’s hypnotic grain is as beautiful to the ear as to the eye, offering, as a topwood, a unique shimmer that only increases with play. Long loved as a bright tonewood for ukuleles, koa—perfect for rhythmic strumming—is warm like mahogany, with a kiss of maple’s clear treble.
Breedlove Pinless Bridge
Breedlove’s pinless Delta bridge is a distinctive element, alright, with a sleek, modern contour that adds an extra bit of unexpected beauty to every instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcome functionality while anchoring great sound. Beginners love the fact that string changes are much easier without having to wrestle a traditional pin bridge. Pros love it for the same reason! No more looking for lost pins during a fast backstage string swap. And its low profile makes for perfect right hand damping.
Breedlove Neck
Breedlove guitars feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability. The labor-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Breedlove players around the world can attest: With consistent, proper care, your Breedlove will give you a lifetime of service – and inspiration. New Breedlove instruments, purchased through an authorized Breedlove dealer, are warrantied to be free of defects in materials and workmanship throughout the lifetime of the original owner.

What Players are Saying
Reviews, Testimonials & Awards
This guitar is beautiful and sounds even better. The lows resonate and the highs are crisp. The sustain is incredible. The Koa wood keeps evolving with each practice session and adds to the overall sound texture especially when you realize the mids are evolving. I’m extremely happy with this guitar and would certainly look to a Breedlove custom in the future!
One run through Mary Flowers’ “My Bluebird,” a blues in G major, finds Breedlove’s Concert Koa to be well-suited for fingerpicking. Same with J.J. Cale’s “Call Me the Breeze,” with its classic shuffle pattern. The guitar’s ample midrange is nice in this context, with a snap and crispness that lends itself well to palm muting.
Those are two songs that I had notated in the August issue of this magazine, and the ease and comfort of the Concert Koa with both shows this instrument can be versatile. Read more.
You don’t buy a Breedlove. You don’t own a Breedlove. You adopt a Breedlove. They become another part of the family. You know… the cool one. The talented one. The one that everybody loves, but is secretly jealous of. That one that gets all the invites to everything. The one that goes ten dollars over your twenty dollar limit for Secret Santa every stinking year. That member of the family.
I’ve loved Breedlove guitars forever. But having one in the family is pure bliss. I’ve never found another guitar that fits me so well. From sound to hand feel and playability, these guitars have everything down to a “T”. They also just look amazing.
I’m going to go play now. Love y’all.
