New for 2024 and REDESIGNED with all new wood pairings!
The Legacy Concert is the epitome of the Breedlove legacy. Iconic for its wood pairings, crafted with figured redwood and Cocobolo, we are able to achieve an amazingly present and beautiful sounding fingerstyle guitar. The cocobolo 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.
CONCERT BODY SHAPE
The Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best-selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well balanced, compact, and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you’re a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch.
REDWOOD TOP
Redwood, sequoia sempervirens, originates in the coastal mountains of Northern California in the United States. Redwood is a dark, beautiful top wood favored by fingerstyle players who appreciate clear upper-harmonic content. Sinker redwood comes from logs that were submerged in an oxygen-free environment, in the bottom of lakes or ocean waters, yielding darker, more striped, and often stiffer and lighter, wood. The tone is bold, punchy, and crisp, with rich, strong overtones. It sounds like a cross between spruce and cedar. Coloration can range from a light pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown.
COCOBOLO BACK & SIDES
Truly stunning in its beauty, often blending shades of brown, orange and yellow within its haunting grain, cocobolo—from the same family as Brazilian rosewood—must be milled and sanded carefully. Using Sound Optimization, Breedlove treats each piece uniquely to create assertive guitars that are fast, loud and responsive.
