Breedlove’s Frontier series are true works of art and expert craftsmanship. The all-Honduran mahogany body and neck provide a beautiful mid-range presence and an incredibly balanced EQ. This guitar may not end up being the loudest acoustic you've ever heard (though it still pumps out plenty of volume) but it will be one of the best sounding guitars you've heard in some time. The bass response is tight, punchy, and focused. The mid-range is sweet, but present enough to help you not sound muddy. The treble is clear and crisp but never shrill. The extremely high quality LR Baggs preamp system allows you to transparently and accurately convey the beautiful tone of this guitar through amplification or a PA system.

Breedlove's neck shapes are a bit narrower/thinner than traditional acoustics and almost play more like an electric. The fretwork and craftsmanship is top-notch, to allow for very low action for some more dynamic fingerstyle playing (or, of course, raise it up a bit for harder strumming). It will both inspire you and allow you to play for hours on end without having to worry about hand fatigue. 

The Frontier Concerto enables this all mahogany guitar to embellish overtones in its deep bodied lower bout, delivering incredibly textured notes with a zest and power. It is comfortable to play, feels alive and produces Breedlove’s Big Sound. It is like the mahogany top, back and neck are all moving in synergistic harmony - born to create music. 

When we set out to create a guitar that would surpass the classic big body sound of the dreadnought,  we didn’t just want it to be loud. We sought to bring out more tonal complexity, and to offer a much more comfortable playing experience, too. Introducing the new Breedlove Concerto, a new guitar shape created to elicit more volume than a classic dreadnought, and more lush, complex tonal resonance in a comfortable body shape that feels just right. Loud, textured, and supremely satisfying. Using our unique new sound profiling technology, we dial in just the right frequency for each piece of exotic tonewood, bringing out its special characteristics so you hear not just volume, but a palette of distinct tonal flavors. 

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. 

With the goal of crafting the world’s finest guitars, we have applied breakthrough technology that takes sound creation to a whole new level. The debut of our 2017 BIG SOUND instruments reveals the results from work by leading experts, research institutions and our own experimentation. We’ve advanced the creation and projection of sound and complexity of tone by working with—instead of against—the variability in the woods from forests around the world. Music wood varies substantially among species, within trees of the same species and within an individual tree. Each tree has its unique life span experience. There is as much as a 30% variance in the density and frequency of tonewood cut to the same dimension within the same tree. Most guitar production companies ignore these complex inconsistencies, cutting their tops and backs to a uniform, pre-determined dimension. At Breedlove, we embraced a far more complicated process, setting a new standard aimed at getting the most music out of every instrument we build. We have learned to capitalize on variation, developing exclusive technology: Breedlove SOUND PROFILING.
