Organic Collection Artista Concerto Cutaway CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Solid Oregon myrtlewood and a torrefied European spruce top distinguishe the beautiful look, comfortable feel and incredible sound of the Breedlove Artista Concerto acoustic-electric. This Breedlove Organic Collection model places a luxury instrument in your lap at what we here at Musician's Friend would say is an astoundingly affordable price. If you're an acoustic player, it's likely that a classic dreadnought, big, rich and robust, will come to mind when you think of a guitar. The Artista Concerto Natural Shadow CE refines that image—visually and sonically. It's a player's dream, but a beauty as well, with its gold and brass appointments contrasting the thin gloss Natural Shadow finish.

All-solid wood construction that's sustainably sourced with a torrefied top

At Musician's Friend, we love that no clear-cut woods are used in the Breedlove Organic Collection, only sustainably sourced all-solid FSC Certified exotic tonewoods and native myrtlewood. But we're even more impressed with the sound. The "aged" power of a torrefied European spruce top is every bit the match for high-end U.S. models. Oregon myrtlewood works beautifully against torrefied spruce, especially in the Breedlove Artista Concerto acoustic-electric.

Unfettered access to all frets with soft cutaway design

The Breedlove soft cutaway design gives you smooth and comfortable access to all 20 frets on this Artista Concerto model. The added shimmer of the myrtlewood will make bass notes pop and add striking clarity to trebles, all the way to the last fret, thanks to a stylish soft cutaway.

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. Volume and tone are easily addressed with soundhole-mounted controls.

The ideal guitar for the eco-friendly player
