The Breedlove Legacy concertina acoustic-electric guitar brings together exquisite tonewoods and handcraftsmanship. Built in Breedlove's Oregon workshop, this concert-sized instrument features a European spruce top and stunning figured koa back and sides. Using Breedlove's proprietary Sound Optimization process, the spruce is precisely tuned to produce balanced tone and singing sustain. The figured koa contributes deep, complex resonance to complement the top. With the LR Baggs Anthem pickup, the Legacy concertina accurately captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice.
Play Comfortably With a Slim Neck Profile
The Legacy Concertina features Breedlove's trademark slim neck profile that enables comfortable playing, even for musicians with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed semi-gloss neck contributes to the guitar's ideal playability. And unlike traditional dovetail joints, the easy-to-adjust bolt-on neck and single-action truss rod make it simple to customize the action and angle.
Resonant Koa Back and Sides
The figured koa back and sides are visually striking, with a rippled pattern in shades of reddish-brown. Koa is known for its exceptional warmth and resonance. The deep lows blend beautifully with the crisp, balanced highs from the tuned spruce top. Strumming or fingerpicking, you'll feel the koa's vibrant tone resonating through the slim, chambered body.
Spruce Top Tuned for Optimal Tone
Breedlove meticulously hand-tunes the solid European spruce top using their Sound Optimization process. The spruce is voiced to achieve a balanced tone profile with clear, projecting highs and focused midrange. Notes ring out with singing sustain. The thin, responsive top vibrates freely to produce the Legacy concertina's lush nylon-string acoustic tone.
LR Baggs Anthem Pickup
The LR Baggs Anthem pickup and preamp accurately conveys the Legacy concertina's organic tone. Volume and tone controls allow you to easily dial in your amplified sound. The flexible pickup captures every nuance, from individual notes to complex chords. Plug in for stage use or recording, maintaining the guitar's natural acoustic character.
