Breedlove Discovery S Red Cedar Concert CE Nylon Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Natural

Classical guitarists have long been drawn to western red cedar, knowing it responds beautifully to the press of skin on nylon strings, releasing cascades of tone to every touch. Whether an experienced player or just beginning your guitar journey, the Discovery S Concert Nylon CE—made with Breedlove's new earth-conscious, sonically superior EcoTonewood technology—will help you unleash your soul. A light gauge flat pick, wielded with grace on nylon strings, can also reveal unexpected pleasures! Appointments, in addition to convenient, accurate Fishman Presys I electronics, include a natural satin finish, slotted Asymmetrical headstock, and sleek, easy-playing African mahogany neck with soft cutaway access to every expressive fret. Discover the Breedlove ECO Collection—where the guitar meets the forest.

Concert body shape

The Concert is Breedlove's 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 supple low end that is never boomy but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.

Solid Tonewood Top

Along with its body shape, a guitar's top is the defining element of its sound, driving, through its vibration, the critical aspects of volume, tone, sustain, and projection. A solid wood top translates those vibrations with more immediacy and purity of tone and reacts more directly with the intent of a player. If you are at an intermediate level or above, you will appreciate the instantly recognizable benefits of a solid wood top.

Red Cedar Top

Softer than spruce, with a warmer cast to its look and tone, western red cedar has less headroom for a heavy attack but comes alive—with sweet harmonies and a broad tonal palette—for a lighter touch. It shares a focused sound related to mahogany, much loved by fingerstylists.

Mahogany Top, Back & Sides

Long treasured by cabinetmakers and shipwrights for its simple, straight-grained beauty, strength, and workability, mahogany—used in tops, backs, sides, and necks—is also one of the true classic tonewoods, famous for its clear, strong fundamental; even string-to-string balance; and warm midrange emphasis. Mahogany pairs well with spruce tops and with itself in single species guitars—and both combinations define much of American roots music.
