Organic Collection Performer Concertina Cutaway CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar

If you're ready for the stage, then we at Musician's Friend recommend the Breedlove Performer Concertina 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. With its small but powerful Concertina shape, this Breedlove Organic isn't just an instrument for the couch or for the player with a smaller frame—it's perfect for those seeking a new, unique voice.

Sustainably sourced all-solid wood construction and 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 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.

Soft cutaway and small Concertina shape

Breedlove's Concertina shape is the brand's take on the eternal parlor guitar, with a short-scale 12-fret neck shifting the pinless bridge to a sweet spot on the small body. The result is a rich, round bass response tempered by sweet, sustained trebles. A soft cutaway provides you with unfettered and unlimited access to all 18 frets.

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. 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 Concertina is a winning combination for the player seeking a unique sound from responsibly harvested woods.
