Breedlove Solo Pro Concert CE 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Right-Handed, Edgeburst)

The Breedlove Solo Pro Concert Edgeburst 12 String CE Red Cedar-African Mahogany Acoustic Guitar is designed for players seeking a robust yet nuanced 12-string guitar, one that is not a gimmicky sideshow but a purpose-built professional-grade instrument. The side monitor soundhole virtually puts you in the audience while you play without diminishing the forward sound projection of your music, a particularly useful feature when playing with a group of musicians. The tone is warm and rich with a solid red cedar top and solid African mahogany back and sides, and that sound remains clear and full when plugged in with Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics. The cutaway body allows players full access to the entire ovangkol fretboard for when you want to get weird up the scale.

12-string guitars can be polarizing, but whether you like them or loathe them, you cannot deny the centrality of that ringing sound to some of the past half-century's most iconic music. Hotel California, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Wish You Were Here are just a few of the anthems girded by a double dose of steel strings.

The unique side monitor soundhole virtually puts your ears in the audience while you play. Hearing every nuance of your instrument, whether you are writing, rehearsing, or performing, gives you a sonic perspective that will bring out the best in your playing.

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.

The top of the guitar is made from Western red cedar, which is a popular tonewood for its warm, rich tones and responsiveness. The back and sides of the guitar are made from solid African mahogany, which is a popular tonewood for its warmth and resonance.

The Ovangkol Bridge of the guitar adds an extra bit of unexpected beauty to the instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcome functionality while anchoring great sound.

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 also the proper tone wood combinations to fit your style of play.
