Breedlove Roots Rosewood Parlor Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

Compact, articulate and richly detailed, the Breedlove Roots Rosewood Parlor acoustic-electric guitar delivers an intimate, high-fidelity voice that feels immediately personal and deeply expressive. Hand-built in Bend, Oregon, this USA-made parlor pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides to produce chime-like highs, a warm, supportive low end and a beautifully balanced midrange. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and meticulous hand-voicing allow each note to speak with clarity and focus, making the Roots Rosewood Parlor equally inspiring for fingerstyle passages, light strumming and melodic songwriting. With its comfortable Slim C mahogany neck, African ebony fingerboard and LR Baggs HiFi electronics, it delivers refined tone and effortless playability in a compact, stage-ready form.

Sitka Spruce and East Indian Rosewood for Focused, Harmonically Rich Tone

The Roots Rosewood Parlor’s tonal character is shaped by a solid Sitka spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides. Sitka spruce offers fast response, clarity and dynamic sensitivity, while rosewood contributes warmth, depth and complex harmonic overtones that give the parlor format surprising richness. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and hand-voicing ensure even projection and note separation, preventing congestion while allowing the guitar’s natural resonance to bloom. The result is a focused, articulate voice with depth and nuance that belies the instrument’s compact size.

Slim C Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Comfortable Playability

The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to Breedlove’s Slim C profile, providing a comfortable, low-profile feel that supports relaxed fretting and smooth position changes. A semi-gloss finish promotes effortless hand movement, while the African ebony fingerboard offers a stable, responsive surface with clear note articulation across all 18 frets. With a 25" scale length and 1.75" nut width, the neck and fingerboard strike a natural balance between precision and comfort, making the Roots Rosewood Parlor an inviting instrument for extended sessions and expressive playing.

LR Baggs HiFi Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone

Equipped with LR Baggs HiFi electronics, the Roots Rosewood Parlor translates its focused acoustic voice into amplified settings with clarity and balance. The non-invasive dual bridge plate sensor design captures both string energy and top vibration, preserving the guitar’s natural dynamics and harmonic detail without altering its acoustic character. A studio-quality preamp provides ample headroom and strong feedback resistance, making the system well suited for live performance, recording or rehearsal. The result is a transparent, faithful amplified sound that remains true to the instrument’s intimate voice.

Pinless Ebony Bridge and Elegant Appointments for a Refined Feel

An African ebony pinless bridge allows for quick, reliable string changes while maintaining sustain and tonal integrity. A bone nut and saddle enhance clarity and definition, while Breedlove nickel tuners provide smooth, dependable tuning stability. Visual appointments remain refined and understated, including a koa rosette, centered dot inlays and a Vintage Toner gloss finish that highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods. Strung with Elixir Phosphor Bronze light-gauge strings and shipped in a deluxe brown hardshell case, the Roots Rosewood Parlor is thoughtfully finished for real-world use.
