All-American parts, homegrown wood, and Breedlove craftsmanship produce a concert guitar that will
draw a crowd.
From Breedlove guitars comes a series that is 100% true red-white-and-blue American. The American series
guitars are built in Bend, Oregon using quality products made right in the USA—no parts or designs were shipped to other
countries. These guitars represent the true American spirit, using quality parts and Breedlove's famous craftsmanship, producing
guitars that will stand the test of time and look absolutely beautiful in the process.
Built on the concert body platform, the Breedlove American C20/SM acoustic guitar is designed to minimize overtones during
a performance. The body width and depth produces balanced tone, but does without the boomy bass or reverberation of a traditional
dreadnought. But the impressive balance and projection are substantial musical features on this beauty. Because of these qualities,
the concert body lends itself perfectly for fingerpicking, while still sounding great for playing in any style.
The solid Sitka top and solid mahogany back and sides of the Breedlove guitar offer a balanced midrange with lots of bold
projection. The rosewood fingerboard, and the one-piece mahogany neck produce rich clarity from note to note. The Breedlove
C20/SM guitar's 25-1/2" scale, 1-3/4" nut width, and 16" radius offer comfort for intricate finger movements, and the gloss
finish adds a high-end shine. The bridge truss system stiffens the bridge and relaxes the soundboard to maximize sustain
and resonate freely. Pinless, winged bridge and scalloped bracing artfully balances string-to-top energy. These design elements
yield abundant overtones, complexity, body resonance and note-for-note swell ideal for creating natural effects, single note
complexity, and orchestral chording.
All Breedlove Custom Shop steel-string guitars (except for the Revival Series),
Pro Series and Atlas Series guitars use the JLD Bridge Truss system. This device is a cantilevered truss that helps to counterbalance
string tension at the bridge, creating a relaxed top and improved structural integrity. This allows the tops to be braced
in a very progressive way, with a focus on realizing the full acoustic potential of the top. A relaxed top provides maximal
wavelength response and a synergy is created by use of a graduated top thickness, balanced scalloped bracing, and a pinless
bridge in combination with the bridge truss system. This gives Breedlove guitars the distinctive and highly dynamic "Breedlove
Sound", with a piano-like bass and a remarkably well-balanced tone suitable for a broad variety of musical styles.
Other
appointments on the Breedlove guitar include black body binding, American abalone rosette, single-action soundhole adjustable
truss rod, scalloped bracing, one-piece mahogany neck, Breedlove pearl dot position markers, asymmetrical Breedlove headstock
