If you're ready for the stage, then we at Musician's Friend recommend the Breedlove Performer Concerto 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. Few big guitars match the uncompromising ease of play of a Breedlove Concerto. It's light, alive and fast—rehearse all day, play all night.

All-solid construction of sustainably sourced wood 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.

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 Concerto 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. Unplugged or cranked, Breedlove's Performer Concerto Bourbon CE is ready for you. Acoustically, the large format Concerto body rocks the room, with plenty of definition and power coming off its 16" torrefied top. Plugged in, the Natural Sound electronics can reach the back row, bringing clean, clear tone to every listener.

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

Each wood combination comes in Breedlove's three distinctive, popular shapes—Concerto, Concert and 12-fret Concertina.
