Myrtlewood body for stunning tone
Only in the ECO Pursuit Exotic S series will you find such fine tonewoods without having to spend an arm and a leg! The Concert CE’s body is made up of myrtlewood, Breedlove’s signature tonewood. The solid myrtlewood top and myrtlewood EcoTonewood back and sides serve up a tonal cocktail with the warmth of rosewood, the midrange of mahogany, and the sparkling treble response of maple. With such a sizable tonal variety on tap, every individual’s playing style will pull out different sonic characteristics, yielding a personalized tone. Myrtlewood is all the rage here at Sweetwater because each set of myrtlewood back and sides has a totally unique figure, making each myrtlewood guitar a one-of-a-kind instrument.
100% sustainably built
There are a lot of guitar builders who champion sustainability, but none comes close to matching Breedlove. The company’s dedication to complete environmental sustainability isn’t just a selling point; it’s a creed by which they do business. And now, Sweetwater is proud to announce that every Breedlove ECO Collection guitar is made with 100% ethically sourced, sustainably harvested tonewoods! That's right, from now on, every instrument bearing the Breedlove name will utilize ethically harvested and sustainable tonewoods.
Creating the next generation of acoustic guitars
Building a sustainably sourced yet budget-friendly acoustic guitar isn’t without its unique challenges. However, Breedlove has risen to the occasion in a way that few else could. In fact, the designers at Breedlove have changed the very fabric of the modern acoustic guitar with their revolutionary EcoTonewood backs and sides. EcoTonewood isn’t some synthetic material to replace tonewoods; it’s exactly the opposite. It's a laminate material featuring two stunning outer tonewood plies with a center ply of African mahogany for added resonance that few other laminate guitars can match. But why is this such a big deal? Sweetwater has the answer.
Most of today’s guitar manufacturers use a 3-ply laminate or layer system for their more affordable models. The structure most often has two tonewood outer plies laminated over with an inexpensive softwood core. While this construction method cuts costs and delivers a solid acoustic guitar to the customer, a softwood core can stifle extra resonance and lessen the overall tonality. That’s where Breedlove’s EcoTonewood is different. By using African mahogany as the inner ply, the guitar can live up to its true potential with a vibrant, full-bodied tone. Stop by Sweetwater’s showroom and play a Breedlove guitar with EcoTonewood back and sides and experience the results for yourself.
Designing outstanding acoustic instruments at exceptional prices
A pursuit of flawless acoustic tone has encouraged Breedlove to push the limits of wallet-friendly design. Each Designed in Bend guitar benefits from the research and experimentation conducted by the expert builders in Breedlove’s Oregon headquarters. This closely guarded collection of building techniques ensures that your guitar performs up to its full potential.
Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about
From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused a lot of their efforts on offsetting their impact on the planet without compromising the quality of their instruments. Their radical approach to sustainability led Breedlove to create their Tonewood Certification Program and commit to visiting the locations where their timber is harvested to ensure that their sustainability standards are met. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including top-loading bridges, fine-tuned voicings, and unique neck profiles. From the Discovery to the Legacy, each and every Breedlove is made with an uncompromising dedication to quality sound, flawless workmanship, and complete environmental sustainability. Buying a Breedlove is much more than purchasing a top-notch acoustic guitar — it’s buying a guitar that you can feel good about.
