Experience the Unique Sound of an All-mahogany Guitar
Breedlove’s Discovery S Concert is a member of the ECO Series, a line of affordable guitars that are shaking up the guitar industry. Constructed from top-quality tonewoods, the ECO Discovery S Concert boasts a solid African mahogany top that sings with a rich, warm tone. Mahogany EcoTonewood back and sides provide room-filling power and resonance. Breedlove outfitted the guitar with a slim, comfortable African mahogany neck for your playing pleasure. In addition, this guitar features sustainably harvested tonewoods to sweeten the deal — something that’s all but impossible to find on other guitars in this price range. The ECO Discovery S Concert takes superb tonewoods and marries them with Breedlove’s advanced construction techniques to create an extraordinary acoustic guitar.
All-mahogany body
Mahogany bodied guitars are beloved in the guitar world for their unique sound and look. Case in point: the Breedlove ECO Discovery S Concert. This acoustic axe boasts an all-mahogany construction and comes equipped with a solid African mahogany top for superior note definition and projection. Mahogany EcoTonewood back and sides contribute a midrange warmth and resonance that’s ideal for accompanying singers. In addition, the African mahogany body and neck deliver a level of warmth and sustain that’s hard to find elsewhere. We find that the ECO Discovery S Concert pairs well with singer/songwriters, studio cats, and folk musicians around AJ’s Music & The Music Man.
Creating the next generation of acoustic guitars
Building a sustainably sourced yet budget-friendly acoustic guitar isn’t without its unique challenges. However, Breedlove has risen to the occasion in a way that few else could. In fact, the designers at Breedlove have changed the very fabric of the modern acoustic guitar with their revolutionary EcoTonewood backs and sides. EcoTonewood isn’t some synthetic material to replace tonewoods; it’s exactly the opposite. It’s a laminate material featuring two stunning outer tonewood plies with a center ply of African mahogany for added resonance that few other laminate guitars can match. But why is this such a big deal? AJ’s Music & The Music Man has the answer.
Most of today’s guitar manufacturers use a 3-ply laminate or layer system for their more affordable models. The structure most often has two tonewood outer plies laminated over with an inexpensive softwood core. While this construction method cuts costs and delivers a solid acoustic guitar to the customer, a softwood core can stifle extra resonance and lessen the overall tonality. That’s where Breedlove’s EcoTonewood is different. By using African mahogany as the inner ply, the guitar can live up to its true potential with a vibrant, full-bodied tone. Stop by our showroom and play a Breedlove guitar with EcoTonewood back and sides and experience the results for yourself.
Eco-conscious construction
For years, Breedlove has worked tirelessly to lessen its environmental impact. Now, AJ’s Music & The Music Man is proud to announce that Breedlove has achieved complete sustainability. Starting in 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.
