The Breedlove Performer Pro Concerto CE Aged Toner European Spruce-African Mahogany Acoustic-Electric Guitar with the largest body style the version of a dreadnought delivers a big sound from a more comfortable, ergonomically designed shape. In a high gloss Performer configuration, it will solidly back the largest ensemble or support a solo singer or songwriter. Like a dreadnought, the Performer Pro Concerto CE has a slightly scooped EQ, creating a comfortable valley for your voice, while providing an incisive tone for your solos. A pinless ovangkol bridge leaves room for damping and allows you to make string changes at lightning speed. Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics translate the European spruce top’s resonance to practice amp or PA. Whether you are on stage in front of thousands or just in front of your mirror, the Performer Pro Concerto CE offers big sound from a workhorse, all-solid wood instrument. Sustainable and Clear Cut FreeMade from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments.

European SpruceAs a guitar top, European spruce is powerful like Adirondack, clear like Sitka, and complex and responsive like Engelmann, all of which are employed in various Breedlove guitar lines. With the Organic Pro Collection years in the making, Breedlove owner Tom Bedell literally climbed a mountain to be sure that the exotic FSC-certified tonewoods used in the assortment are harvested in responsible ways that respect the earth while providing for superior tone that will last a lifetime. High in the windblown Swiss Alps, Bedell watched as European spruce trees were individually selected-each yielding many dozens of tops sets-with an eye towards keeping the old-growth stands robust for decades to come. African MahoganySometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean, and warm voice and boasts impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as well as a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity.

The newest revolutionary body shape was designed by Breedlove Performer Pro Concert Thinline Aged Toner CE European Spruce-Indian Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar geniuses in Bend, Oregon. Its concert body has been an amazing player for more than three decades with its balanced sound, versatile play, and comfortable size. For the last few years, the designers have been tinkering with ways to get that same depth and projection in a thinner-bodied instrument that would reduce arm angle, and therefore arm fatigue. The Concert Thinline has a 3/4-inch shallower body than the traditional Concert with the same range, projection, and resonance. The Organic Pro Performer is the first production guitar line to offer this innovative shape, and we’re confident that everyone who plays it will fall in love with it.
