Solid Wood Top

Along with its body shape, a guitar’s top is the defining element ofits sound, driving, through its vibration, the key aspects of volume,tone, sustain and projection. Spruce will, due in part to its famousstiffness-to-weight ratio, ring loud and clear. A solid wood toptranslates those vibrations with more immediacy and purity of tone, andreacts more directly with the intent of a player. If you are at anintermediate level or above, you will appreciate the instantlyrecognizable benefits of a solid wood top.

BREEDLOVE NECK

Breedlove guitars feature a slimmer neck profile, which enablescomfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-glossBreedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability.

THE COMPANION BODY SHAPE

Historically, serious guitar players on-the-move have faced a rathertough dilemma; contend with the challenges of traveling with a full-sizeguitar or settle for a more convenient, smaller instrument withtraditionally reduced sound quality… the travel guitar.

RED CEDAR TOP

Softer than spruce, with a warmer cast to its look and its tone,western red cedar has less headroom for a heavy attack, but comesalive—with sweet harmonics and a wide tonal palette—for a lighter touch.Related to mahogany, it shares a focused sound, much loved byfingerstylists.

MAHOGANY BACK & SIDES

Long treasured by cabinetmakers and shipwrights for its simple,straight-grained beauty, strength and workability, mahogany—used intops, backs, sides and necks—is also one of the true classic tonewoods,famous for its clear, strong fundamental; even string-to-string balance;and warm midrange emphasis. Mahogany pairs well with spruce tops aswell as with itself in single species guitars—and both combinationsdefine much of American roots music.

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 beautyto every instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcomefunctionality while anchoring great sound. Beginners love the fact thatstring changes are much easier without having to wrestle a traditionalpin bridge. Pros love it for the same reason! No more looking for lostpins during a fast backstage string swap. And its low profile makes forperfect right hand damping.
