Breedlove has long specialized in offering intriguing alternative tonewoods, introducing, for example, hauntingly figured Oregon myrtlewood to the guitar world 25 years ago. The Pursuit Exotic S Series—featuring TUSQ nuts and saddles and Breedlove’s earth-conscious, sonically superior EcoTonewood technology—allows you to affordably experience the pure, nuanced sound and striking visual beauty of exotically koa. Side-mounted Fishman Presys I electronics (with built-in tuner, volume, contour and phase controls) make amplification a breeze.

PURSUIT EXOTIC S CONCERT EDGEBURST CE

To pursue is to “endeavor to attain.” Something ‘exotic’ is at once glamorous and romantic, beguiling. Breedlove’s new Pursuit Exotic S Concert Edgeburst CE—featuring the earth-conscious, sonically superior EcoTonewood technology found in all ECO Collection instruments—is nothing if not beguiling and worthy of endeavor. Hawaiian koa offers a unique brilliance in both its rich sound and in the natural beauty of its tropical grain, which is highlighted here by a contemporary gloss edgeburst finish with tortoise binding. The pioneering soft cutaway Concert body shape is supremely versatile, with koa adding shine to fingerpicked passages and gentle muscle to firmer strumming. Scalloped bracing gives you a nuanced tonal palette typically found only on custom instruments.

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.

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.

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.

ECOTONEWOOD BACK & SIDES

With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture. Coupled with Breedlove’s deep research into revolutionary body shapes; building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound of each guitar in the ECO Collection. And, Breedlove creates these better sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price-point.
