Breedlove Discovery S Concertina Cedar/Mahogany

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Breedlove Discovery S Concertina Cedar/Mahogany is a stunning, compact acoustic that's a fingerpicker's dream. The Concertina model is a pared down version of Breedlove's original Concert shape, built with a more compact body, shorter scale length and 12-fret-to-the-body neck for easy, parlor-like playability. Other great features include the slim Breedlove profile mahogany neck, pinless bridge and superb appointments like the handsome rosette and body binding.

As a company, one of Breedlove's main focuses is on the ecological impact of the materials they use to produce their superb instruments. To this end, they insist on several policies as a company including never utilising wood from clear-cut stock, and only using fallen or sustainably felled trees. The result is a guitar built with fantastic quality materials without impacting the future of the environment.

Features We Love:

Solid Top

Breedlove guitars all sport sustainably sourced solid wood tops for maximum tonal character and projection. This model features a handsome Western Red Cedar top. Often an overlooked choice of tonewood, Western Red Cedar has a warmth an glow to its sound that responds wonderfully to fingerstyle playing and light strumming.

Ecotonewood Back & Sides

Breedlove's Layered Ecotonewood back & sides aren't just the old basic plywood with a fancy veneer, instead, utilising three layers of sustainably sourced tonewood. This construction method has been developed by Breedlove to deliver all the durability and low-cost-benefits of layered woods, while avoiding the typically soft-center of ply that can dampen tonal response. The result is a guitar that's still packed full of superb tone and character, without breaking the bank.

Concertina Body Shape

Breedlove's petite, comfortable Concertina body shape takes the lines and silhouette of their original Concert shape, and downsizes everything to sit even more comfortably in the lap. This compact size, paired with the 12-frets-to-teh-body neck and shorter scale length give it a superb playability and make it a fingerpickers dream.
