The Breedlove Performer Pro Concert Aged Toner CE European-African Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar offers everything you want from a professional grade, all-solid body guitar in a small, powerful package. With 12 frets to the body, the Performer Pro Concertina CE produces a unique, inviting tone, with the bridge sitting right on the European spruce top’s sweet spot. A short scale and soft cutaway open up every fret, whether bending the blues, shaking a wicked vibrato, or simply singing your favorite song from Spotify. Working musicians love the Performer Pro’s killer combination of classic spruce and mahogany tone, with beautifully understated looks. When plugged in, the Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics, capture true acoustic sound and allow you to make this small-bodied guitar sound as big as you like.

Sustainable and 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 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.

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 sure 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 tops sets-with an eye towards keeping the old-growth stands robust for decades to come.

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 singers or songwriters.

Concertina Body Shape

Breedlove’s small body guitar delivers a surprisingly clear, crisp, loud sound. Its 12-frets design makes it a joy to play. Extensive Sound Optimization engineering has resulted in a body shape that has a bigger sound and is more comfortable to play than a traditional parlor.

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. They keep meticulous records-every refinement, every change, every delicate curl of wood off the chisel 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 Bracing.

Real Solid Tonewoods for Superior Sound

No Richlite or resin-impregnated softwoods, no glue-heavy plywoods: just solid, real tonewoods for real tone.
