How does the Concerto body compare with a dreadnought?

It is Breedlove's largest shape and roughly dreadnought-sized in volume, but the waist is shallower and more ergonomic. Expect similar projection with a slightly scooped midrange that sits well behind a voice.

Is it good for gigging without extra gear?

Yes. The Fishman Flex Plus-T system sends the spruce top's signal to an amp or PA, so you can play plugged in at practice or on stage. You still need a cable and a battery.

What woods does it use?

A solid European spruce top with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Breedlove sources salvaged and individually harvested timber and states no clear-cut trees are used.

Does the pinless bridge make string changes easier?

Breedlove designed it so strings thread without bridge pins, which speeds changes and leaves room for palm damping. It works like any fixed bridge once strings are on.

Players who want a small, shallow body or a bright, mid-forward fingerstyle voice may prefer a Concert or OM shape. The Concerto is built for volume and ensemble support.

Our take on the Breedlove Performer Pro Concerto CE European-Indian Rosewood Acoustic Guitar

The Performer Pro Concerto CE is an all-solid acoustic-electric with a European spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, built in Breedlove's largest Concerto body. That shape is close to a dreadnought in volume but with a shallower, more ergonomic waist, and its slightly scooped midrange leaves room for a singer's voice while keeping solos incisive. A Fishman Flex Plus-T system carries the sound to an amp or PA, and the pinless ovangkol bridge makes string changes quick and allows palm damping. It suits gigging singer-songwriters and flatpickers who want dreadnought-sized output without the bulk, and it competes with other all-solid imports on tonewoods and electronics rather than on ornamentation.

About the Breedlove Performer Pro Concerto CE European-Indian Rosewood Acoustic Guitar

The Breedlove Performer Pro Concerto CE is an acoustic-electric guitar with a Concerto body shape. The shape is meant to give more volume than a classic dreadnought, with fuller tonal resonance, in a comfortable, ergonomic body. It has a high gloss finish and an all-solid wood build with a European spruce top and Indian rosewood.

Like a dreadnought, it has a slightly scooped EQ. The pinless ovangkol bridge leaves room for damping and allows fast string changes. Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics carry the sound of the top to a practice amp or PA.

Breedlove makes its guitars from sustainably sourced tonewoods, using salvaged and individually harvested timber. No clear-cut trees are used.
