New Breedlove Artista Concerto Natural Shadow CE Acoustic Electric Guitar (B-STOCK)

The classic dreadnought combination is spruce over rosewood, a pairing famed for its deep bass, scooped mids and bright trebles. The Artista Concerto Natural Shadow CE bends tradition, making for an even more distinctive large format guitar. Its Oregon myrtlewood back and sides boast that familiar rosewood thrum, as well as its blossom of overtones, but tempers it with a warmer middle and airy, strong trebles that balance every chord. This is what your guitar can be! Decorated, yet understated, with all Artista appointments, and the hypnotic swirl of solid native myrtle, the instrument stands out as the apex of the Organic Collection.

Features

Sustainable & Clear Cut Free

Made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As we move towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest and the planet.
