Breedlove guitar Breedlove Guitars

Traditional craftsmanship, environmental consciousness, and customer focus are at the core of the Breedlove philosophy. Breedlove does not use endangered rain forest woods and offers the widest selection of non-traditional tone woods in the industry. These guitars also boast impressive custom inlay work and a wide range of body configurations and appointment upgrades.

All Breedlove guitars have tops that are voiced both before and after the braces are applied. Breedlove utilizes a modern, patented bridge truss device that counterbalances the string tension on the top of the guitar. The increased structural integrity of the bridge truss braces the tops for optimal vibration and sound quality and creates what Breedlove calls a "relaxed top." The result is a responsive guitar with rich bass, sweet highs, balanced mids, and a remarkable balance of sound when playing notes up the fingerboard.

Breedlove designed their pegheads so that the strings between the tuners and the nut are parallel to the rest of the string. This is because Breedlove believes that if the strings pass over the nut and then angle sharply towards the tuner posts, there is added dampening, which causes loss in sustain.

Limited lifetime warranty
Made with hand-selected, naturally aged tone woods
Case included with all models (hardshell or soft case)
