Breedlove Performer Pro Concert Thinline Aged Toner CE Acoustic Electric Guitar. European EI Rosewood

The newest revolutionary body shape designed by the Breedlove acoustic guitar geniuses in Bend, Oregon. Our Concert body has been amazing players for more than three decades with its balanced sound, versatile play, and comfortable size. For the last few years, our designers have been tinkering with ways to get that same depth and projection in a thinner bodied instrument that would reduce arm angle, and therefore arm fatigue. The Concert Thinline has a ¾” shallower body than our traditional Concert with the same range, projection, and resonance. The Organic Pro Performer is first production guitar line to offer this innovative shape, and we’re confident that everyone who plays it will fall in love with it. Though initially built to accommodate players with smaller frames and shorter arms, none of us in the shop can put this guitar down. It’s just SO comfortable. With a European spruce top, and all solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar gives an all-new feel to a classic look and sound. Add in Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics and you’ve got a powerhouse instrument that you want to hold in your lap all day long.

A classic tonewood combination

Spruce and rosewood equal a classic tonewood combination that provides classic acoustic sound at a slightly darkened level. The Organic Performer Pro Concert Thinline CE’s tonewood pairing follows that time-honored tradition with a solid European spruce top over solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Rosewood supplies a bold, resonant tone with a subtly dampened midrange response, while the spruce projects with the utmost clarity. And since the entire body is solid wood, you can feel the unrestrained resonance thumping against your chest when you strum.

Cascade bracing pattern maximizes your sound

Named for the mountain range just outside of Breedlove’s Oregon headquarters, Cascade bracing is an advanced, data-driven approach to traditional scalloped bracing. It applies the design principles of Breedlove’s acclaimed Sound Optimization technology to the company’s more affordable models. The customized brace shapes and profiles allow your guitar to vibrate with complete freedom, treating listeners to a rich, well-balanced tone with truckloads of projection. Breedlove guitars that are equipped with Cascade bracing offer custom shop tone and response at a fraction of the price.

Eco-conscious construction

For years, Breedlove has worked tirelessly to lessen its environmental impact. Now, Sweetwater is proud to announce that Breedlove has achieved complete sustainability. Since 2021, every Breedlove instrument is constructed entirely from environmentally friendly tonewoods. Stunningly figured myrtlewood, luxurious curly maple, resonant African mahogany, heirloom-quality koa, smooth-as-glass ebony, and more are on offer — and all of them individually harvested in cooperation with local communities and suppliers. From the introductory Discovery Series to the bespoke, handcrafted Masterclass Series, every guitar and bass bearing the Breedlove name ushers in a new era of environmental responsibility and look good doing it.

Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about

From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused a lot of their efforts on offsetting their impact on the planet without compromising the quality of their instruments. Their radical approach to sustainability led Breedlove to create their Tonewood Certification Program and commit to visiting the locations where their timber is harvested to ensure that their sustainability standards are met. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including top-loading bridges, fine-tuned voicings, and unique neck profiles. From the Discovery to the Legacy, each and every Breedlove is made with an uncompromising dedication to quality sound, flawless workmanship, and complete environmental sustainability. Buying a Breedlove is much more than purchasing a top-notch acoustic guitar — it’s buying a guitar that you can feel good about.
