The Breedlove Discovery S Concert Edgeburst 12-String CE Sitka Spruce/African Mahogany is a 12 string electro-acoustic guitar with gloss finish and solid top for superior tonal response. Breedlove’s original body, the Concert is still its most popular. It ably adapts to 12 strings thanks to its plentiful natural depth and sustain. As part of Breedlove’s Eco Collection, this variant is also fully sustainable, utilising no clear-cut woods in its construction.

Who doesn’t love the roar and chime of a 12-string guitar? Breedlove’s sustainable new earth-conscious, sonically superior EcoTonewood technology lets you sound better than ever jangling out lush chords from this balanced, responsive and impressively comfortable Concert body speciality instrument. Sitka spruce offers dynamic brilliance and singing sustain, while African mahogany provides warmth, precision and a rich bottom end.

Dressed in a tantalizing gloss Edgeburst finish, appointments for the Discovery S Concert 12-string CE, in addition to exacting Fishman Presys I electronics, include tortoise binding, Asymmetrical headstock, chrome tuning machines and a sleek, easy-playing, satin finish African mahogany neck with soft cutaway access to every fret.

Breedlove Eco Collection - Sustainable & Clear Cut Free

Made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tone woods. No clear-cut trees are used in this instrument. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. Breedlove 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.

With Eco Tone wood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tone wood 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 tone wood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound of each guitar in the ECO Collection.
