Luxurious Tonewoods Meet Effortless Playability

The Legacy Series is Breedlove’s flagship series. As such, every member of the Legacy Series is built from the finest, all-solid tonewoods and other luxurious appointments. The Legacy Concertina E is constructed from a European spruce top paired with koa back and sides. This tonewood combination delivers a bright tone that matures and mellows over time. Moreover, this guitar underwent Breedlove’s proprietary Sound Optimization process, drastically improving resonance and sustain. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard feel sleek and quick in your hands, inviting you to explore the bleeding edge of your playing prowess. Finally, AJ’s Music & The Music Man guitar players report that the Legacy Concertina E’s soundhole-mounted LR Baggs electronics sound absolutely impeccable while playing onstage. Purchase a Breedlove Legacy Concertina E and prepare to be impressed by its tone and playability.

Tonewoods to treasure

Breedlove constructs this version of the Legacy Concertina E from spruce and koa. Combining the clear, projective sound of European spruce with the unique sonic characteristics of koa is a stroke of design genius that’ll perk up the ears of anyone within earshot. The tone is bright and controlled, with a clear attack and excellent sustain. As the guitar ages and breaks in, the koa back and sides mellow into a warmer tone with a sensational midrange texture. With the addition of Sound Optimized bracing, the Breedlove Legacy Concertina E delivers its memorable tone at your slightest touch.

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, they’ve taken huge strides to reduce their 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.
