The Breedlove Artisan Adirondack Spruce Parlor acoustic-electric guitar captures the qualities that define Breedlove—effortless feel, rich resonance and a voice that feels both familiar and deeply personal. Handcrafted and hand-voiced in Bend, Oregon, this compact parlor pairs an Adirondack spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides to deliver exceptional clarity, balanced overtones and controlled dynamics at any volume. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing enhances responsiveness and projection, while a Slim C mahogany neck and African ebony fingerboard provide a consistently comfortable playing experience. Outfitted with LR Baggs Anthem electronics for natural, studio-quality amplification and finished with refined Artisan Series appointments, this parlor is designed to perform equally well at home, in the studio or on stage.
Adirondack Spruce and Indian Rosewood for Articulate, Controlled Projection
At the core of the Artisan Parlor is a premium Adirondack spruce top, valued for its headroom, clarity and wide dynamic range. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, the result is a voice rich in harmonic depth with clear note separation and balanced overtones. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and hand-voiced construction refine the body’s natural resonance, maintaining warmth and control whether played softly or with greater intensity. The parlor body shape emphasizes focus and immediacy, making this guitar especially responsive in both acoustic and amplified settings.
Slim C Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Effortless Playability
The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to Breedlove’s Slim C profile, offering a low-profile, comfortable feel that supports extended playing sessions without fatigue. A smooth semi-gloss finish promotes fluid hand movement, reinforcing the guitar’s inviting response. The African ebony fingerboard provides a stable, responsive playing surface with clear articulation, while the 25" scale length balances string tension for clarity and comfort. Together, the neck and fingerboard create a natural, intuitive playing experience from first position through the upper frets.
LR Baggs Anthem Electronics for Natural, Studio-Quality Amplified Tone
Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the Artisan Parlor delivers an amplified sound that faithfully preserves 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, open tone with strong dynamic response. Whether performing live or recording direct, the system provides clarity, warmth and dependable feedback resistance, allowing the guitar’s nuanced voice to translate seamlessly beyond the acoustic environment.
Refined Artisan Appointments and Premium Hardware
Elegant Artisan Series details enhance both appearance and functionality. 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, reliable tuning stability, and a bone nut and saddle support sustain and tonal clarity. Elixir Phosphor Bronze light-gauge strings contribute consistent feel and longevity, and the included deluxe tweed hardshell case ensures secure transport and storage.
A Handcrafted Parlor With Timeless Character and Modern Versatility
With its premium tonewoods, hand-voiced construction and player-focused ergonomics, the Breedlove Artisan Adirondack Spruce Parlor represents a focused expression of modern acoustic craftsmanship. Handcrafted in Bend, Oregon, it pairs the projection and clarity of Adirondack spruce with the harmonic warmth of rosewood to deliver a balanced, sophisticated voice. Combined with effortless playability and studio-grade LR Baggs Anthem electronics, this Artisan Parlor is a refined, stage-ready instrument designed for expressive musicians.
