European Spruce - Indian Rosewood
Performer Pro Series Concert Thinline Aged Toner CE Rosewood
The newest revolutionary body shape designed by the Breedlove acoustic guitar geniuses in Bend, Oregon. Our Concert body has been amazing players for more than three decades with its balanced sound, versatile play, and comfortable size. For the last few years, our designers have been tinkering with ways to get that same depth and projection in a thinner bodied instrument that would reduce arm angle, and therefore arm fatigue. The Concert Thinline has a ¾” shallower body than our traditional Concert with the same range, projection, and resonance. The Organic Pro Performer is first production guitar line to offer this innovative shape, and we’re confident that everyone who plays it will fall in love with it. Though initially built to accommodate players with smaller frames and shorter arms, none of us in the shop can put this guitar down. It’s just SO comfortable. With a European spruce top, and all solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar gives an all-new feel to a classic look and sound. Add in Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics and you’ve got a powerhouse instrument that you want to hold in your lap all day long.

Sustainable & Clear Cut Free
Made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As we move towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest and the planet.
Real Solid Tonewoods for Superior Sound
No Richlite or resin impregnated softwoods, no glue-heavy plywoods: just solid real tonewoods for real tone.
Fishman Electronics
Side-mounted Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics with volume, treble, bass, and phase controls, plus on onboard tuner. For detailed information on the electronic, please reference the Fishman user manual.
European Spruce
As a guitar top, European spruce is powerful like Adirondack, clear like Sitka, and complex and responsive like Engelmann, all of which are employed in various Breedlove guitar lines. With the Organic Pro Collection years in the making, Breedlove owner Tom Bedell literally climbed a mountain to be positive that the exotic FSC-certified tonewoods used in the assortment are harvested in responsible ways that respect the earth, while providing for superior tone that will last a lifetime. High in the windblown Swiss Alps, Bedell watched as European spruce trees were individually selected—each yielding many dozens of top sets—with an eye towards keeping the old growth stands robust for decades to come.
Indian Rosewood
The familiar scooped sound profile of a classic dreadnought comes largely from East Indian rosewood, which emphasizes round bass tones and clear trebles, leaving a valley custom made for the human voice. The same carefully sourced qualities offer presence and definition to smaller bodies, along with great dynamic range.
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.
Cascade Bracing for Custom Shop Sound
Conceived in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain Range, Breedlove’s Cascade Bracing delivers pinnacle acoustic soundand American ingenuity in guitars for everyone.
Every USA made Breedlove guitar gets hand-voiced by one of our builders in Bend, Oregon. These craftspeople achieve sonic perfection by meticulously shaping each instrument’s internal bracing. But, we’re not just artists and artisans, we’re guitar geeks. We keep meticulous records—every refinement, every change, every delicate curl of wood off the chisel gets logged in our database.
We used all that combined knowledge and experience to answer a simple question: “How can we make our accessible, production guitars sound even closer to the showpieces from our Custom Shop?” The answer? Cascade Bracing.

What Players are Saying
Reviews, Testimonials & Awards
My Organic Performer Concert is my third Breedlove. I had the opportunity to play a Signature model that was a demo sent to my Local dealer. I was so impressed that I had him order me the Performer Concert. I am so in love with this guitar. The tone is exceptional and the fit and finish is top notch. I am an old hippie on a fixed income, and although I had wanted an Oregon model for a long time they were just a bit outside my price range. I want to thank Breedlove for making such a fine guitar at a price point I could afford. I look forward to many years of enjoyment from it and expect my Grandson will have many more years playing it after I pass. Again thank you
