This one is for the sonic minimalists out there. Those who appreciate the subtlety of nylon's soft sound and feel know that when strung over a quality instrument, this lesser-appreciated material can produce a sublime sound. The Breedlove Solo Pro Concert Edgeburst Nylon CE Red Cedar-African Mahogany Acoustic Guitar is designed for fingerstyle and light strumming, and the Solo Pro Nylon makes the perfect professional-grade instrument for players looking for a sweet and nuanced nylon guitar. The side monitor soundhole allows you to hear what the audience hears, without diminishing forward projection. This feature is especially useful when playing with a group of musicians. The tone is warm and rich, with a solid red cedar top and solid African mahogany back and sides. Its 1 7/8-inch radiused neck makes playing easy and fun. The professional-caliber Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics include volume, tone control, and a built-in tuner. The cutaway body gives full access to the entire upgraded Ovangkol fretboard. If you are a serious nylon enthusiast or a player looking to expand your sound in style, this guitar will make a welcome addition to your stable.

Side Sound Hole

The unique side monitor soundhole virtually puts your ears in the audience while you play. Hearing every nuance of your instrument, whether you are writing, rehearsing, or performing, gives you a sonic perspective that will bring out the best in your playing.

Solid Red Cedar Top

Softer than spruce, with a warmer cast to its look and tone, western red cedar has less headroom for a heavy attack but comes alive with sweet harmonics and a wide tonal palette for a lighter touch. Related to mahogany, it shares a focused sound, much loved by finger stylists.

Solid African Mahogany

Sometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean, and warm voice and boasts impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as well as a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity. All mahogany instruments like the Organic Collection Wildwood Series which features a sustainably harvested wood source from the Republic of Congo offer a natural compression that delights blues players, folkies, and singer or songwriters.

Fishman Electronics

Side-mounted Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics with volume, treble, bass, and phase controls, plus an onboard tuner.

Cascade Bracing For Custom Shop Sound

Conceived in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain Range, Breedlove’s Cascade Bracing delivers pinnacle acoustic sound and American ingenuity in guitars for everyone. Every USA-made Breedlove guitar gets hand-voiced by one of the builders in Bend, Oregon. These craftspeople achieve sonic perfection by meticulously shaping each instrument’s internal bracing. But they are not just artists and artisans; they are guitar geeks. This keeps meticulous records of every refinement, every change, and every delicate curl of wood off the chisel that gets logged in the database. They used all that combined knowledge and experience to answer a simple question: How can they make the accessible, production guitars sound even closer to the showpieces from the Custom Shop? The answer is cascade braking.

The Concert Body Shape

The Concert is the 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.
