Check out two variations in the company’s new sustainable line that feature Fishman electronics, an expressive voice, and a combination of African mahogany and European spruce tonewoods.Breedlove Organic Performer Pro Concert CE – Aged Toner with Suede Burst Back

A player’s guitar, the Performer Pro Concert CE seamlessly translates any musical style. The sheer versatility of the venerated Breedlove Concert shape finds full expressive voice in the outstanding tonewood combination of African mahogany and European spruce. This all-solid wood guitar offers power, sustain, and clarity, which is ideal for fingerpickers sketching out difficult passages along the slim, easy-playing neck, or for rock and rollers who want to dig in and strum through the night. With Fishman Flex T-Plus electronics built into the body shape that has defined the Breedlove sound for more than 30 years, this go-to guitar will shine (and sing) no matter how or where you play it.Breedlove Organic Performer Pro Concert Thinline CE – Aged Toner with Suede Burst Back

The newest revolutionary body shape designed by the Breedlove acoustic guitar geniuses in Bend, Oregon. Our Concert body has been amazing players for more than three decades with its balanced sound, versatile play, and comfortable size. For the last few years, our designers have been tinkering with ways to get that same depth and projection in a thinner bodied instrument that would reduce arm angle, and therefore arm fatigue. The Concert Thinline has a ¾” shallower body than our traditional Concert with the same range, projection, and resonance. The Organic Pro Performer is first production guitar line to offer this innovative shape, and we’re confident that everyone who plays it will fall in love with it. Though initially built to accommodate players with smaller frames and shorter arms, none of us in the shop can put this guitar down. It’s just SO comfortable. With a European spruce top, and all solid African mahogany back, sides, and neck, this guitar gives an all-new feel to a classic look and sound. Add in Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics and you’ve got a powerhouse instrument that you want to hold in your lap all day long.
