Small Body, Huge Voice – Breedlove’s Concertina Powerhouse
If you think smaller-bodied acoustics are all polite and quiet, this Legacy Concertina E is ready to prove you wrong. Solid Sitka on top of solid cocobolo, a 12-fret neck joint, and Breedlove’s Sound Optimization process give this little cannon a voice that sparkles, blooms, and carries.
It is handbuilt in Bend, Oregon, and this exact guitar is the one in the photos and the audio clip. What you see and hear is exactly what will show up at your door.
Solid Sitka Spruce And Cocobolo With Serious Authority
The salvaged solid Sitka spruce top is fine-tuned for the right deflection, so it comes alive under your fingers. You get that familiar Sitka clarity and sweetness on top, with a quick response that makes every nuance count.
Out back, solid cocobolo brings the thunder. Breedlove sands this dense hardwood down using their Sound Optimization process, so you get big, piano-like low end, rich overtones, and surprising volume without the mud. It is the kind of tone that makes you play one more chord just to hear it ring out again.
12-Fret Concertina Comfort That Begs To Be Played
The Concertina body is compact and incredibly comfortable, whether you are on the couch or on stage. Pair that with a 12-frets-to-the-body neck, and the bridge sits in a sweet spot on the top that really wakes the guitar up.
The result is a slinky, inviting feel with fast response and big, focused projection. It is the kind of guitar that makes you want to dig in with enthusiasm, then back off and explore all the subtle, glassy textures it can deliver.
LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic – Studio-Grade Plugged-In Sound
Plugged in, the LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic system keeps things honest. The mic-centric design captures the real acoustic voice of this Concertina instead of turning it into a quacky piezo impersonation of itself.
On a good PA or acoustic amp, you get the same sparkle, warmth, and cocobolo depth you hear unplugged, with feedback resistance and control that make it a legit stage and studio tool.
Handbuilt In Bend, Oregon
This Legacy Concertina E is crafted in Bend, OR, USA, with the kind of attention to detail you feel the second you pick it up. Honduran mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and Delta bridge, clean black binding, and a Natural Shadow gloss top that sets off the cocobolo beautifully.
It is comfortable to play, a joy to hear, and flat-out beautiful to look at. Breedlove built this as a flagship small-body instrument, and it shows.
