Sound frequencies travel most efficiently through lighter materials. With this in mind, Breedlove designers sought a solution that would reduce weight and bring the acoustic guitar to life in a player’s hands. Each chord resonates through the entire instrument and, even while having a smaller Concert body size, the sound is full, projects well, and is very well balanced. This is a versatile guitar that can be used by fingerstyle players or strummers alike. Mahogany has often been a tonewood of choice for recording acoustic guitars because of how even it is across the bass, middle, and treble frequencies. None of the notes jump out at you any more than others and it makes for a warm and soothing acoustic tone while keeping your notes articulate and defined.

The high-quality LR Baggs preamp will transparently convey your guitar's sound to your favorite amplifier or PA system so you can be clearly heard regardless of what size the venue is that you're playing or how big the band is that you're playing with. A simple and discreet control layout that is easily accessible in the soundhole of the guitar allows you to get the volume you need without any added complications or without cutting a giant hole in the side of your guitar.

The comfort and simple beauty of the Breedlove USA Concert acoustic guitar deliver complex notes that are beautiful to the ear with the robust big instrument sound of much larger guitar designs.

USA CONCERT CINNAMON BURST E SITKA-MAHOGANY GUITARS
Sound frequencies travel most efficiently through lighter materials. With this in mind, Breedlove designers sought a solution for the USA Concert Cinnamon Burst E Sitka - Mahogany that would reduce weight and bring the acoustic guitar to life in a player’s hands. Through this search, we achieved the thinnest finish to-date on a Breedlove – a mere 5 mils on top and 2 mils for the back and sides. With Sound Optimization, our Sitka tops are thinner, the mahogany backs a bit thicker and the sound hole smaller to hit our target fundamental resonance frequency for textured big sound.  This is a very versatile instrument.

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. The graduated top works in harmony with the Breedlove Bridge Truss to provide an even response throughout the lows, mids, and highs, with sustain, and clear, concise, note-for-note projection.
 
BREEDLOVE NECK
Breedlove guitar necks feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. Unlike traditional dovetail neck joints that require major surgery for a neck re-set, it is easy to adjust the play action and neck angle with the Breedlove bolt-on neck and single-action truss rod. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish contributes to ideal playability – the finish process alone takes three days, including precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.

ASYMMETRICAL HEADSTOCK
The asymmetrical headstock is featured on CM, Concert, Auditorium, and 12-String body shapes. This headstock isn’t just a pretty shape – it’s specifically designed to keep the strings in a straight, even line from the nut to the tuning pegs. The result is even tension, stable tuning, and ease of alternate tuning.

SITKA SPRUCE TOP
Sitka spruce, picea sitchensis, originates in the northwest United States. Sitka spruce has been the primary top wood for American-made instruments for decades. It is strong and light with extended harmonic content, and it nearly equals the power of Adirondack. It offers a strong, focused tone with a solid fundamental -- perfect for flatpicking styles. When compared with European spruce, Sitka delivers warmer, more fundamental sound, largely free of overtones. Sitka takes a slightly longer period of playing time to open up. It has a straight uniform grain and coloration ranges from white to pink to light brown.

MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES
Mahogany is a medium-lightweight wood, ranging in color from light brown to dark, primarily used for necks because of the feel and the stability it provides. Balanced, resonant tone with notable sustain. Thick bottom end, rich midrange, and controlled, warm top end. Found from southern Mexico through Central America and south to Brazil and Bolivia.
