Breedlove Artisan Adirondack Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Vintage Toner

The Breedlove Artisan Adirondack Spruce Dreadnought combines the classic power and projection of a large-bodied acoustic with the precision and nuance of a hand-voiced, boutique-level build. Handcrafted in Bend, Oregon, it features a premium Adirondack spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides to deliver wide dynamic range, resonant lows and clear, articulate highs. Designed to handle everything from delicate fingerpicking to full-bodied strumming, the guitar maintains clarity and control even at higher volumes. A Slim V Honduran mahogany neck and African ebony fingerboard provide confident, comfortable playability across the 25.5" scale, while LR Baggs Anthem electronics translate its natural acoustic voice for stage or studio use. Finished with refined Artisan Series appointments, this dreadnought is a professional-grade instrument built for serious performance.

Adirondack Spruce and East Indian Rosewood for Powerful, Balanced Projection

The Artisan Dreadnought’s voice begins with an Adirondack spruce top, valued for its headroom, articulate attack and expansive dynamic range. Paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, it produces a rich, layered tonal spectrum with deep lows, clear mids and sparkling highs supported by controlled overtones. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and hand-voiced construction ensure consistent projection and responsiveness, whether played softly or with full intensity. The classic dreadnought body shape delivers the volume and presence required for stage and studio work while maintaining balance across the frequency range.

Slim V Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Confident Playability

The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to Breedlove’s Slim V profile, offering a supportive feel that remains comfortable during extended sessions. A semi-gloss finish allows smooth hand movement, while the 25.5" scale length and 1.75" nut width provide balanced string tension and a familiar playing response. The African ebony fingerboard delivers a stable, responsive surface with clear articulation across all 20 frets, supporting expressive playing in any position.

LR Baggs Anthem Electronics for Natural, Stage-Ready Amplification

Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the Artisan Dreadnought translates its acoustic voice into amplified settings with clarity and realism. By blending an undersaddle pickup with a Tru-Mic condenser microphone, the system captures air, warmth and dynamic nuance while maintaining strong feedback resistance. Whether performing live, recording direct or playing in smaller amplified environments, the Anthem system preserves the guitar’s natural character and responsiveness.

Refined Artisan Appointments and Reliable Hardware

Thoughtful details elevate the Artisan Dreadnought’s performance and appearance. Gotoh open-gear tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning stability, while a bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and note clarity. Green abalone purfling, rosette accents and mosaic fingerboard inlays add visual refinement without excess. Elixir Phosphor Bronze light-gauge strings deliver consistent feel and longevity, and the included deluxe tweed hardshell case ensures dependable protection during transport and storage.

Classic Dreadnought Power With Handcrafted Refinement

With its premium Adirondack spruce and Indian rosewood construction, sound-optimized design and player-focused ergonomics, the Breedlove Artisan Adirondack Dreadnought offers a versatile platform for a wide range of musical styles. Its expansive projection and harmonic depth remain articulate through subtle passages and composed under heavy strumming. Combined with studio-grade electronics, a comfortable Slim V neck and refined Artisan Series appointments, this dreadnought delivers an elegant balance of classic power and modern craftsmanship.
