The Breedlove Artista Pro concert acoustic-electric guitar melds old world craftsmanship with innovative design to create a 12-string that sings. With the Cascade bracing system, it pumps out rich, full-bodied tone with exceptional clarity and projection. The myrtlewood back and sides generate a wonderfully balanced tone, with crisp, sparkling highs and tight low end that cuts through the mix. The European spruce top responds articulately across the tonal spectrum, allowing you to craft nuanced melodic lines. And the Fishman Flex Plus-T pickup captures every subtlety of the guitar's natural acoustic voice with precision. All this sonic excellence comes in an ergonomic concert body that's a joy to hold and play.

Myrtlewood Back and Sides Provide Balanced Tone

The stunning myrtlewood back and sides generate a wonderfully balanced frequency response. With its blend of warm lows and crisp highs, myrtlewood adds shimmer and sparkle while still offering tight bass tones. Strumming chords rings out with complexity as the individual notes bloom. The myrtlewood also looks fantastic under the thin burnt amber burst finish, displaying eye-catching grain patterns.

Smooth, Comfortable Playability

The Artista Pro's slim Soft C neck profile and smooth ovangkol fingerboard facilitate comfortable, fatigue-free playing. The neck has a fast feel, while the shallow fingerboard radius and 1 7/8" nut width make fretting chords a breeze. A single cutaway grants ample upper fret access. Brass string nuts and saddles provide precise intonation. With its easy playability, the Artista Pro excels on stage and in the studio.

Articulate European Spruce Top

European spruce is prized for its acoustic properties and the Artista Pro's solid spruce top projects with power while remaining organic. With strong fundamentals and overtones, it responds evenly across the tonal spectrum. The spruce top allows you to craft nuanced melodic lines and control your dynamics. From delicate fingerpicking to aggressive strumming, the top handles it all with ease.

Cascade Bracing System Optimizes Resonance

Breedlove developed their Cascade bracing system to maximize the guitar's natural acoustic resonance. Drawing inspiration from the Cascade Mountain Range, they precisely scalloped and contoured the bracing to produce full, rich tones with superb articulation and sustain. It's a bracing pattern optimized for the concert body shape, allowing the myrtlewood and spruce to vibrate freely and project with power. You'll hear and feel more of the guitar's organic acoustic qualities shining through.

Fishman Flex Plus-T Pickup for Natural Sound

The Fishman Flex Plus-T pickup and preamp captures every detail of the guitar's authentic acoustic tone. The undersaddle transducer combines with the body sensor to produce a balanced amplified sound. The preamp provides volume, bass, mid, treble and phase controls so you can shape your amplified tone. The pickup preserves the guitar's warm low end, sparkling highs and balanced midrange - you'll love the pristine amplified sound.
