Breedlove Wildwood Pro Concerto Suede CE Acoustic Electric Guitar. African Mahogany

What makes all mahogany guitars so special? Simple—the sound. Built with all-solid African mahogany—from neck to top to back and sides—the Wildwood Pro Concert Suede CE is all about tone, specifically the warm, dry, fundamental timbre of a classic mahogany instrument. That means the true note rings out, with fewer shadings and overtones, making for a clear, defined voice, one often favored by folk, country, and blues players. A simple suede finish protects the Wildwood Pro Concert Suede CE, but is thin enough to let it sing. The Breedlove Concert body has stood as an industry standard for 30 years, and it loves a mahogany top as much as you will. With stage-ready Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics and a gig bag, this guitar will take you as far as your talent and hustle can go.

Made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As we move towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest and the planet.

CONCERT BODY SHAPE

The Concert is our most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boom, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.

CASCADE BRACING FOR CUSTOM SHOP SOUND

Conceived in the shadows of the Cascade Mountain Range, Breelove's Cascade Bracing delivers pinnacle acoustic sound and 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.

We used all that combined knowledge and experience to answer a simple question: "How can we make out accessible, production guitars sound even closer to the showpieces from our Custom Shop?" The answer? Cascade Bracing!

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 an onboard tuner. 

AFRICAN MAHOGANY

Sometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean and warm voice and boasts and impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as well as to a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity. All mahogany instruments--like the Organic Collection Wildwood Series (which features sustainably harvested wood source from the Republic of Congo) offer a natural compression that delights blues players, folkies and singer/songwriters.
