European Spruce - Indian Rosewood
Performer Pro Series Dreadnought Concerto Aged Toner CE Rosewood
Breedlove’s largest body style—our version of a dreadnought—delivers big sound from a more comfortable, ergonomically designed shape. It will solidly back the largest ensemble or support a solo singer-songwriter. Like a dreadnought with rosewood back and sides, it has a slightly scooped EQ, creating a comfortable valley for your voice, while providing an incisive tone for your solos. A pinless bridge leaves room for damping and allows you to makes string changes at lightning speed. Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics translate the European spruce top’s resonance to practice amp or PA. The solid rosewood back and sides efficiently projects the bass tones and accents the highs, bringing an ideal collaboration between the top and back to achieve Breedlove’s famous warm textured note-for-note clarity. Whether you are on stage in front of thousands or just in front of your mirror, the Performer Pro Concerto CE offers big sound from a workhorse, all solid tonewood instrument.

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.
Concerto Body Shape
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.
