Exotic Myrtlewood Warmth With Effortless Playability

The Pursuit Exotic S Concert Canyon CE 223 is that rare acoustic that feels like a quiet canyon getaway every time you pick it up. Solid myrtlewood on a comfy concert body gives you a huge, balanced voice with glassy top end, warm mids, and enough low end to anchor a mix without getting muddy.

With Breedlove’s eco minded construction, copper accented hardware, and a fast, slim neck, this is a guitar you can play for hours without fighting it. Plug in with the Fishman Presys I and you have a stage ready, feedback resistant tone that stays honest to the acoustic sound you fell in love with on the couch.

Canyon Finished Myrtlewood With A Big, Balanced Voice

Myrtlewood is the secret sauce here. It blends the deep bass of rosewood, the sweet warmth of mahogany, and the glassy shimmer of maple into one responsive top that blooms under your fingers. Fingerstyle lines stay articulate, while strummed chords sound wide and lush instead of boxy.

The Canyon finish ties it all together visually, showing off the figuring in the wood without looking flashy for the sake of it. Paired with tortoise binding and that compact concert body, it has a boutique vibe that looks as rich as it sounds.

EcoTonewood Construction For The Modern Player

Real talk, a lot of “exotic” acoustics come at a cost to the planet. Breedlove’s EcoTonewood approach is about smart use of resources without sacrificing tone. The layered African mahogany and myrtlewood back and sides give you stability, consistency, and punchy projection that travels well and handles climate changes better than a fragile all solid build.

Scalloped European spruce Cascade bracing helps the top move freely, so you get clarity and note separation even when you dig in. It all adds up to a guitar that feels alive under your right hand and stays musical in any room.

Fast Slim Neck, Concert Comfort

The African mahogany neck has a fast, slim feel that makes barre chords, quick runs, and extended sets a lot less work. It is the kind of carve that disappears in your hand, so you can focus on the song instead of fighting the instrument.

The concert body shape hugs in close, with a comfortable waist and lighter 4.4 lb weight that is easy on shoulders and backs. Add the soft cutaway and you get clean access all the way up to the 20th fret for melodic leads, high capo work, and modern chord voicings.

Fishman Presys I: Plug In And Go

When it is time to get loud, the Fishman Presys I keeps things simple and reliable. It translates the natural myrtlewood voice with clarity and headroom, so your plugged in tone keeps the same balance of warmth, shimmer, and cut you hear acoustically.

Whether you are running straight into a PA at a worship gig or into an acoustic amp at a coffeehouse, it is a solid, noise free platform that takes pedals and EQ well. No fuss, no deep menus, just tones that sit right in the mix.

Dressed To Inspire, Built To Last

From the black stained ovangkol fingerboard and bridge to the copper color logo, brass dots, and premium copper Breedlove tuners, every detail feels intentional. It is designed in Bend, Oregon and crafted with care, so you get an instrument that looks custom without the custom shop price tag.

This guitar ships from our Evansville, Indiana shop fully inspected and dialed in, with D’Addario XT phosphor bronze lights ready to sing. If you want an acoustic electric that covers practice, performance, and recording without breaking the bank, this Breedlove hits that sweet spot.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

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.

Myrtlewood is like getting three classic tones in one guitar. You get low end depth similar to rosewood, the sweet midrange warmth of mahogany, and a glassy top that feels a bit like maple. The result is a very balanced voice that works for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and big open chord strums without getting boomy or harsh. It sits beautifully in a mix and records really well.
Breedlove’s EcoTonewood approach is about using responsibly sourced woods and smart layering to get great tone with less waste. The layered African mahogany and myrtlewood back and sides use thinner tonewood slices over a stable core, which means more instruments per tree and better long term stability. You still get a lively, resonant guitar, but with a lighter footprint on the forests that give us this wood in the first place.
A concert body is a little smaller and more focused than a dreadnought. You still get plenty of volume, but the mids and highs are more defined and the low end is tighter instead of huge and boomy. That makes this Breedlove great for singer songwriters, worship players, and anyone who wants their guitar to sit under the vocal instead of fighting with it. It is also noticeably more comfortable to hold for long sets.
Absolutely. The Fishman Presys I system gives you a clear, controllable signal that works great straight into a PA or acoustic amp. The concert body controls feedback better than a big jumbo, and the balanced myrtlewood tone means you spend less time fighting EQ. Add the light weight and fast, slim neck and you have a very easy guitar to live with on stage.
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 14-Day Return Policy. 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.
