Features:

-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.

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

-Fishman's Press I side mounted Preamp Systems provides supreme sound

quality with easy access and usability. These preamps feature Volume, Tone

shaping, and Phase controls; a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup and low profile control knobs. The batter box is located on the bottom of the instrument

for easy access and quick battery changes.

-Sometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean and

warm voice and boasts an impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as

well as to a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity. All mahogany

instruments -like the Rainforest Series (which features sustainably harvested

wood source from the Republic of Congo) offer a natural compression that

delights blues players, folkies and singer/songwriters.

-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.
