About this listing
New for 2024 and REDESIGNED with all new wood pairings!The Legacy Concert is the epitome of the Breedlove legacy. Iconic for its wood pairings, crafted with figured redwood and Cocobolo, we are able to achieve an amazingly present and beautiful sounding fingerstyle guitar. The cocobolo 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.THE BREEDLOVE NECKBreedlove guitar necks feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. Unlike traditional dovetail neck joints that require major surgery for a neck re-set, it is easy to adjust the play action and neck angle with the Breedlove bolt-on neck and single-action truss rod. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish contributes to ideal playability – the finish process alone takes three days, including precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTYBreedlove 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 warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship throughout the lifetime of the original owner. In addition to materials and workmanship, Breedlove offers a two-year warranty on tuning machines and electronics packages. Cases and bags are subject to a one-year warranty covering defects in structure and hardware.SOUND OPTIMIZATION & HAND VOICINGWhy do Breedlove guitars sound so good? It’s simple, Breedlove guitars are made with care, with the goal of allowing you to play better, sound better and play more. But it’s also complex, with art, inspiration, craft and science merging together in a process we call Sound Optimization. These models are hand voiced, with experienced luthiers meticulously tapping, listening and shaving away tiny curls of exquisite tonewood as they target specific, measurable frequencies that will make each unique, individual instrument sound its very best. The tone wood species are carefully milled, weighed and considered, with backs and tops specifically tuned to each other to create light, responsive guitars with superior tone and sustain.CONCERT BODY SHAPEThe Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best-selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well balanced, compact, and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you’re a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch.REDWOOD TOPRedwood, sequoia sempervirens, originates in the coastal mountains of Northern California in the United States. Redwood is a dark, beautiful top wood favored by fingerstyle players who appreciate clear upper-harmonic content. Sinker redwood comes from logs that were submerged in an oxygen-free environment, in the bottom of lakes or ocean waters, yielding darker, more striped, and often stiffer and lighter, wood. The tone is bold, punchy, and crisp, with rich, strong overtones. It sounds like a cross between spruce and cedar. Coloration can range from a light pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown.COCOBOLO BACK & SIDESTruly stunning in its beauty, often blending shades of brown, orange and yellow within its haunting grain, cocobolo—from the same family as Brazilian rosewood—must be milled and sanded carefully. Using Sound Optimization, Breedlove treats each piece uniquely to create assertive guitars that are fast, loud and responsive.Body Type ConcertNeck Wood Honduran mahoganySolid Wood Top Figured RedwoodSolid Wood Back & Sides CocoboloTop Finish Shadowburst glossBack & Side Finish Shadowburst glossFretboard African ebony# Frets 20Nut Width 1.75"Tuners Hardware Gotoh 510, gold-X finishLower Bout Width 15.37"Waist Width 9"Upper Bout Width 11.28"Body Length 19.875"Body Depth 3.75" (neck), 4.5" (tail)String Gauge D'Addario XT PB LightPickup LR Baggs Anthem TRU-MicBridge Delta bridge, African ebonyBinding KoaInlay LinksCase Deluxe hardshellScale Length 25.5"Sound Hole 4"Crafted In Bend, OR USARosette Spalted Maple
