Sustainable and 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 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.

European Spruce

As a guitar top, European spruce is powerful like Adirondack, clear like Sitka, and complex and responsive like Engelmann, all of which are employed in various Breedlove guitar lines. With the Organic Pro Collection years in the making, Breedlove owner Tom Bedell literally climbed a mountain to be sure that the exotic FSC-certified tonewoods used in the assortment are harvested in responsible ways that respect the earth while providing for superior tone that will last a lifetime. High in the windblown Swiss Alps, Bedell watched as European spruce trees were individually selected-each yielding many dozens of tops sets-with an eye towards keeping the old-growth stands robust for decades to come.

African Mahogany

Sometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean, and warm voice and boasts impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as well as a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity. All mahogany instruments, like the Organic Collection Wildwood Series, which features a sustainably harvested wood source from the Republic of Congo, offer a natural compression that delights blues players, folkies, and singers or songwriters.

Concerto Body Shape

Introducing the new Breedlove Concerto, a new guitar shape created to elicit more volume than a classic dreadnought, and more lush, complex tonal resonance in a comfortable body shape that feels just right. Loud, textured, and supremely satisfying.
