Finished with refined Artisan Series appointments, this concert acoustic-electric is a sophisticated, stage-ready instrument designed for expressive performance.
Adirondack Spruce and East Indian Rosewood for Power, Balance and Nuance
The Artisan Concert features a premium Adirondack spruce top, valued for its clarity, dynamic range and ability to respond across a wide spectrum of playing intensity. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is a harmonically rich voice with articulate highs, a focused low end and controlled overtones. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and hand-voiced construction refine the body’s resonance, ensuring strong projection without excess boom. The Concert body shape adds volume and sustain while maintaining clarity, making this guitar a versatile platform for both intricate fingerstyle passages and dynamic rhythm work.
Soft C Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Confident Playability
The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to Breedlove’s Soft C profile, offering a slightly fuller feel that remains comfortable over long playing sessions. A smooth semi-gloss finish supports natural hand movement, while the African ebony fingerboard provides a stable, responsive surface with clear articulation. Combined with the 25.5" scale length, the neck and fingerboard deliver balanced string tension and a reassuring playing response from first position through the upper frets.
LR Baggs Anthem Electronics for Natural, Dynamic Amplified Tone
Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the Artisan Concert delivers an amplified sound that faithfully reflects its acoustic character. By blending a Tru-Mic condenser microphone with an undersaddle pickup, the Anthem system captures both air and immediacy, producing a natural, studio-quality amplified tone with excellent dynamic response. Strong feedback resistance and intuitive operation make the system well suited for live performance, recording and direct connection to a PA or interface.
Refined Artisan Appointments and Reliable Hardware
Elegant Artisan Series details enhance both performance and presentation. Abalone purfling and rosette accents add visual depth, while mosaic fingerboard inlays and ivoroid binding reflect Breedlove’s refined aesthetic. Gotoh open-gear tuners provide smooth, dependable tuning stability, and a bone nut and saddle support sustain and tonal clarity. Elixir Phosphor Bronze light-gauge strings deliver consistent feel and longevity, and the included deluxe tweed hardshell case ensures secure transport and protection.
