Breedlove’s Best of the Best

Experience the absolute best that Breedlove has to offer with the Legacy Concert CE. This acoustic-electric guitar comes with all-solid tonewoods. You get a redwood top for clear and poised attack, plus cocobolo back and sides for powerful bass and midrange. The body woods and bracing have also passed through Breedlove’s proprietary Sound Optimization process, which eliminates the tonal differences caused by natural variations in the wood grain and weight. Like other Legacy series guitars, the Legacy Concert CE has a resonant mahogany neck carved into a Slim “C” profile for impeccable playability. Plus, the body’s generous cutaway gives you better access to the upper frets. You can play this guitar onstage, too, courtesy of the built-in LR Baggs electronics. Order a Legacy Concert CE from AJ’s Music & The Music Man and enjoy its exceptional tone.

Striking, all-solid tonewoods

Breedlove has never been one to rest on its laurels. The company is always cooking up new tonal recipes in its workshop in Bend, Oregon. The new Legacy Concert CE offers a tonewood pairing you don’t see every day — redwood and cocobolo. The redwood top absolutely sings with a powerful and clear voice. Meanwhile, the cocobolo back and sides produce a strong bass response and balanced midrange. Together, these two tonewoods give you a warm, composed tone with a clean attack.

Forward-thinking Sound Optimization Process

Every Made in Bend Breedlove guitar benefits from the company’s proprietary Sound Optimization process. Sound Optimization is a data-driven process that accounts for the inherent variability in natural tonewoods and ensures every guitar performs to its full potential. So how does it work? First, Breedlove sands each tonewood to a desired weight (most guitar companies sand to a uniform thickness). Once the braces are glued in, the company’s luthiers use soft mallets, microphones, and specialized software to analyze the top and back frequency response. They then voice the braces by hand and constantly re-measure the frequency response to ensure the top and back resonate to pre-determined target frequencies.

Breedlove’s groundbreaking combination of data-backed technology with the art of lutherie ensures that their instruments sound unlike any other. The guitar comes alive the second you pluck your first note. Each Sound Optimized guitar offers a huge dynamic range with striking note separation and clarity. Plus, the sustain is out of this world. Breedlove believes in their Sound Optimization technology so much that no instrument leaves their Oregon workshop until it performs to its full potential — even if that means carving on the bracing through the soundhole. With a Sound Optimized Breedlove guitar, you’ll experience a level of performance and sonic consistency that you can’t find anywhere else. Not sold yet? You will be once you play one.

Sustainably sourced, traceable tonewoods

If you talk to anyone at Breedlove, they’ll probably say they love the outdoors. And as a global guitar brand, the company has taken huge strides to reduce its environmental impact and protect the natural world they cherish with the Tonewood Certification Program. Breedlove works closely with local authorities and mill workers to harvest and document each tonewood they use. The Tonewood Certification Program’s documentation is so thorough that they can tell you exactly where the wood on your guitar grew and how it ended up at Breedlove.

Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about

From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused a lot of their efforts on reducing their impact on the planet without compromising the quality of their instruments. Their radical approach to sustainability led them to create their Tonewood Certification Program and commit to visit each location where their timber is harvested to ensure that their sustainability standards are met. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including custom 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 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.
