Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concert 6-Nylon String Acoustic Electric Guitar (Natural Gloss and Amber)

Fans of nylon string guitars know that the lower tension and supple feel of filament versus steel allow for an exciting array of explorations and emotions. If you haven’t tried nylon, you don’t know what you’re missing, whether as a primary instrument or as an additional flavor in your musical stew. Part of Breedlove’s sustainable ECO Collection, the tortoise-bound Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concert Nylon Acoustic Electric Guitar offers exquisite tone and easy playability, with the classic classical sound of solid western red cedar supported by the full range of Myrtlewood. Appointments, in addition to exacting Fishman Presys I electronics, include a slotted Asymmetrical headstock and sleek, easy-playing, satin finish African mahogany neck with soft cutaway access to every expressive fret.

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. In a 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.

Concert Body Shape

The Concert is the most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great-sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.

Breedlove Pinless Bridge

Breedlove’s pinless Delta bridge is a distinctive element, alright, with a sleek, modern contour that adds an extra bit of unexpected beauty to every instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcome functionality while anchoring great sound. Beginners love the fact that string changes are much easier without having to wrestle a traditional pin bridge. Pros love it for the same reason. No more looking for lost pins during a fast backstage string swap. And its low profile makes for perfect right-hand damping.

Breedlove Neck

It features a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability. The labor-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.

Ecotonewood Back and Sides

With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture. Coupled with Breedlove’s deep research into revolutionary body shapes building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound of each guitar in the Eco Collection. And, Breedlove creates a better-sounding laminate guitar while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price point. Breedlove EcoTonewood is where music meets the trees.

Versatile Play Style

The Breedlove Play Style system was created to help you, the player, select your sound and playing style. Finding the most appropriate guitar to fit your sound requires finding not only the correct body shape but the proper tonewood combinations to fit your style of play. Each Breedlove guitar is designed for a specific play style and sound, the Play Style systems assign a playing style icon to each instrument.
