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

Breedlove’s largest body style—our version of a dreadnought—delivers big sound from a more comfortable, ergonomically designed shape. It will solidly back the largest ensemble or support a solo singer-songwriter. Like a dreadnought with rosewood back and sides, it has a slightly scooped EQ, creating a comfortable valley for your voice, while providing an incisive tone for your solos. A pinless bridge leaves room for damping and allows you to makes string changes at lightning speed. Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics translate the European spruce top’s resonance to practice amp or PA. The solid rosewood back and sides efficiently projects the bass tones and accents the highs, bringing an ideal collaboration between the top and back to achieve Breedlove’s famous warm textured note-for-note clarity. Whether you are on stage in front of thousands or just in front of your mirror, the Performer Pro Concerto CE offers big sound from a workhorse, all solid tonewood instrument. Includes a hardshell case!

Real Solid Tonewoods for Superior Sound

• No Richlite or resin impregnated softwoods, no glue-heavy plywoods: just solid real tonewoods for real tone.

Fishman Electronics

• Side-mounted Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics with volume, treble, bass, and phase controls, plus on onboard tuner. For detailed information on the electronic, please reference the Fishman user manual.

European Spruce

• As a guitar top, European spruce is powerful like Adirondack, clear like Sitka, and complex and responsive like Engelmann, all of which are employed in various Breedlove guitar lines. With the Organic Pro Collection years in the making, Breedlove owner Tom Bedell literally climbed a mountain to be positive that the exotic FSC-certified tonewoods used in the assortment are harvested in responsible ways that respect the earth, while providing for superior tone that will last a lifetime. High in the windblown Swiss Alps, Bedell watched as European spruce trees were individually selected—each yielding many dozens of top sets—with an eye towards keeping the old growth stands robust for decades to come.

Indian Rosewood

• The familiar scooped sound profile of a classic dreadnought comes largely from East Indian rosewood, which emphasizes round bass tones and clear trebles, leaving a valley custom made for the human voice. The same carefully sourced qualities offer presence and definition to smaller bodies, along with great dynamic range.

Concerto Body Shape

• Introducing the new Breedlove Concerto, a new guitar shape created to elicit more volume than a classic dreadnought, and more lush, complex tonal resonance in a comfortable body shape that feels just right. Loud, textured, and supremely satisfying.

Cascade Bracing for Custom Shop Sound

• Conceived in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain Range, Breedlove’s Cascade Bracing delivers pinnacle acoustic soundand American ingenuity in guitars for everyone. Every USA made Breedlove guitar gets hand-voiced by one of our builders in Bend, Oregon. These craftspeople achieve sonic perfection by meticulously shaping each instrument’s internal bracing. But, we’re not just artists and artisans, we’re guitar geeks. We keep meticulous records—every refinement, every change, every delicate curl of wood off the chisel gets logged in our database.
