Its concert body shape is comfortable, balanced and compact, generating an articulate tone with ample low end that suits a variety of playing styles.

Eco-Friendly Construction Promotes Sustainability

Breedlove's EcoTonewood technology integrates three layers of sustainably harvested tonewoods to craft an environmentally friendly instrument without sacrificing sound quality. No trees are clear-cut in the process. Breedlove works closely with suppliers around the globe to source wood in a responsible, sustainable manner that protects wildlife, communities and forests. The Discovery S Concert Nylon CE is designed to last a lifetime while fostering a better future for the planet.

European Spruce Top Delivers Signature Tone

A guitar's top is the driving force behind its tone, volume and projection. European spruce is prized for its light weight and stiffness, which produces an instrument rich in overtones, nuance and tonal color. The solid European spruce top gives the Discovery S Concert Nylon CE a sound that rings loud and clear, with sustain that lingers.

Comfortable Concert Body Provides Balance

Breedlove's popular concert body shape is comfortable, compact and provides tonal balance. It generates a diverse range of tones with a full low end that's never boomy. The concert body works well for fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment or energetic strumming. A soft cutaway offers easy access to higher frets.

    So far I have replaced the headstock and am about to replace the bridge due to the strings drifting. I really like the guitar . I don't have a lot of experience to base this on unfortunately. It's been good to learn about stinging and maintaining. In fact I have 2 ....

    This guitar is bold without being obnoxious and absolutely gorgeous. I sound better, and cannot stop playing it. The tuner is accurate. What gets me is the resonance. I hear angels sing when I play it. Worth twice its price. I hear it whisper 'you better get better pal, because when you do, I'll still be here.'

    I picked up a lot of guitars, but they all seemed to be unsuitable. I always go to the Naperville Guitar Center to try out guitars. I bought several guitars; in the end I chose this guitar. I was satisfied with its color, workmanship, sound, material & comfort, and comfortable neck.

  • Breedlove is well designed.

    Mostly used in the studio, but on long gigs, the nylon strings save the fingers.

    it's great for playing both chord and finger picking as well as acoustic/classical style solo style. The narrower than typical (classical guitar) neck has a very nice and fast feel to it. This guitar is a full size acoustic, do not let the fact that it's strung up with Nylon strings fool you. oh and let's not forget that it also has active pickup electronics. it sounds great both plugged in and just acoustically. I own quite a few Acoustic guitars and although I have been able to part with a few over very long periods of time. I do not see myself ever parting with this gem. Play one if you see one, you won't be disappointed.

    No adjustable neck rod for compensation due to bow ?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    No it doesn't. Classical guitars typically don't have truss rods as the strings pull much less tension than steel.
