The King Of Koa – A Once In A Lifetime Concert For Serious Players

One look at this 30th Anniversary King Koa and you get it. This is not just another nice acoustic – it is an all solid, highly figured koa Concert that rings like a bell, feels effortless in your hands, and is built to be the kind of lifer guitar you build a whole set around.

Breedlove pulled out all the stops for their 30th year, and it shows. From the mesmerizing koa top, back, and sides to the custom burst maple neck, bloodwood binding, and abalone purfling, every detail is tuned for tone, feel, and that deep grin you get when you crack the case open.

All Solid Highly Figured Koa – Lively, Balanced, And Loud

The Concert soft cutaway body is carved from all solid, highly figured koa top, back, and sides. That means fast attack, clear mids, sweet top end, and a focused low end that never turns to mud. It is lively under your right hand and projects way bigger than its footprint suggests.

The 4 inch soundhole and gloss finish work with the koa to give you a voice that is articulate for fingerstyle, but still has enough push for strumming and flatpicking. Real talk, if you like hearing every nuance of your touch without harshness, this wood combo hits that sweet spot.

Maple Neck And Ebony Under Your Fingers

An Eastern hard rock maple neck keeps things rock solid and adds a bit of snap and clarity to the guitar’s overall voice. The custom burst finish not only looks incredible against the koa, it gives you a smooth, broken in feel from the first chord.

Up top you get an African ebony fingerboard with 20 frets and Breedlove’s hook inlays, plus an African ebony winged bridge that helps notes bloom and sustain. The 1.75 inch nut width and Concert body make this a fingerstyle dream, with enough room for complex chords without feeling like a classical neck.

LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic – Real Acoustic Tone When You Plug In

The LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic system is the difference between sounding like a great acoustic and sounding like a great acoustic that happens to be plugged in. It captures the body, air, and dynamics of the guitar so you can run straight to the board or your favorite acoustic amp without fighting that plasticky piezo quack.

Whether you are doing solo singer songwriter sets, worship gigs, or studio sessions, the Anthem gives you a natural, mix friendly signal that responds to your touch. Dig in and it barks, back off and it stays glassy and expressive.

30th Anniversary Details Fit For A King

This thing is dressed up like the celebration piece it is. Bloodwood binding traces the body, ebony fingerboard, and asymmetrical headstock, while abalone top purfling catches the light without getting gaudy. It is the kind of guitar that looks as good under stage lights as it does in a studio or living room.

Gotoh 510 X-gold tuners keep tuning rock solid and feel silky under your fingers. The whole package is handcrafted in Bend, OR USA and ships in a premium Ameritage built hard case, so the King Koa is protected from door to door and for the long haul.

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The King Koa is a full on celebration build. You get all solid, highly figured koa for the top, back, and sides, a custom burst Eastern hard rock maple neck, African ebony fingerboard and bridge, and premium appointments like abalone top purfling, bloodwood binding, and an asymmetrical headstock. It is handcrafted in Bend, OR USA, loaded with an LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic system, and ships in a high end Ameritage built hard case. It is a limited 30th Anniversary piece built to be a lifetime guitar, not a standard production run.
All solid koa has a very musical response. You get quick, articulate attack, a focused midrange that supports vocals beautifully, sweet trebles, and a tight, controlled low end. As you play it in over time, the tone tends to open up and gain warmth and complexity. On this Concert body, that translates to a voice that is lively and loud without getting boomy, perfect for fingerstyle, nuanced strumming, and recording.
Absolutely. The Concert body keeps everything comfortable and focused, while the 1.75 in nut width gives your fretting hand extra room for thumb overs, intricate voicings, and wide chord stretches. The Eastern hard rock maple neck offers great stability, which is a big plus if you like to live in DADGAD, open tunings, or drop tunings. Plugged in, the LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic system translates all of that detail without falling apart when you change tunings.
This is for the player who wants one truly special acoustic electric that can handle serious work. If you are a committed fingerstyle player, a singer songwriter building a set around one primary guitar, a worship player who needs a reliable, great sounding stage instrument, or a studio regular who wants an inspiring main acoustic, this checks all the boxes. It is overkill for a first guitar, but perfect if you are ready to invest in a forever instrument.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
