If you're ready for the stage, then we at Musician's Friend recommend the Breedlove Performer Concert acoustic-electric cutaway. This Breedlove Organic Collection model brings legendary Breedlove playability to the "aged" sound of torrefied European spruce over African mahogany. A custom-crafted gloss Bourbon Burst finish completes this model, which also comes equipped with Breedlove's state-of-the-art Natural Sound electronics. Breedlove's versatile Concert shape, with a slim neck on a comfortable medium-sized body, has been a standard bearer for 30 years. You'll find this acoustic-electric is equally adept at fingerpicking, fine flatpicking or heavy strumming. Soundhole-mounted controls make on-the-fly adjustments a breeze, and a soft cutaway puts every note within reach.

Sustainably sourced woods and a torrefied top

At Musician's Friend, we love that no clear-cut woods are used in the Breedlove Organic Collection. But we're even more impressed with the sound, especially the "aged" power of torrefied European spruce tops, every bit the match for high-end U.S. models. To collect the African mahogany that makes up this guitar, the Breedlove team ventured to the source—the African Congo River Basin, the world's second-largest rainforest. Mahogany has a dry, warm timbre with a midrange presence that recording engineers love, whether miked up or coming through Breedlove's clean, easy-to-use Natural Sound electronics.

Unfettered access to all frets with a soft cutaway design

The Breedlove soft cutaway design gives you smooth and comfortable access to all 20 frets on this Performer Concert model. Why else do we love Breedlove's soft cutaway design? It works to balance the higher energy treble notes with the lower energy bass tones.

Optimized for sound and built for performance

Breedlove Natural Sound electronics will help you sound better and play more by placing controls right where you need them—in the soundhole for quick, on-the-strum access. Easy battery replacement keeps things simple onstage or at home—a winning combination.

The ideal guitar for the eco-friendly player

Breedlove has made a name for itself in developing beautifully crafted instruments with a distinctive, unique sound. With the release of the Breedlove Organic Collection, Breedlove steps up their game by offering sustainably harvested all-solid acoustic-electrics at an affordable price. The Breedlove Performer Concert is a winning combination for the player seeking a unique sound from responsibly harvested woods.
