Blues Orange Parlor Concertina M1

The TB Vintage Edition Blues Orange Concertina M1 is a re-imagining of Breedlove Owner Tom Bedell’s personal custom Breedlove acoustic guitar. Part of the TB Vintage Edition lineup, it draws inspiration from the allure of exotic tonewoods while being enriched by Tom’s life journey. Crafted using sustainably sourced, figured Myrtlewood, its construction imparts tonal warmth, detail, and precise midrange articulation. Further enhancing its character, the LR Baggs M1 pickup, slotted headstock, and hand-crafted spalted maple purfling showcase the guitar’s custom heritage. However, what truly sets the Concertina M1 apart is the striking Blues Orange finish, specified by Tom himself.

Guitar Portrait

We are pleased to present these detailed specifications for your Breedlove guitar, which was designed and handcrafted in Bend, Oregon. In addition to its dimensions, we have listed every piece of solid wood used in this model, giving its common name, scientific name and country of origin. We use no clear-cut wood. We salvage fallen timber or individually harvest trees to minimize impact on the forest. You can travel worry free with your Made in Bend Breedlove—no permits are needed. Still, if you plan on trekking internationally, we suggest printing this information and carrying it with your guitar to avoid misunderstandings or prolonged waits with customs officials.
