Breedlove Roots Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Edge Burst

The Breedlove Roots Concert acoustic-electric guitar is designed to be an instrument you can rely on in nearly any musical setting—a versatile companion that moves easily from writing and recording to live performance. Hand-built in Bend, Oregon, this mid-sized model pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides to produce a balanced voice with a centered midrange, articulate highs and supportive lows. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and hand-voiced construction refine the guitar’s natural resonance, delivering a controlled response that remains musical across a wide dynamic range. A Soft C mahogany neck and African ebony fingerboard provide a modern, fluid playing feel, while LR Baggs HiFi electronics faithfully translate its organic acoustic character in amplified environments. Shipped with a deluxe hardshell case, the Roots Concert is a streamlined, professional-grade instrument built for players who need consistency and flexibility.

Sitka Spruce and Honduran Mahogany for Balanced, Versatile Tone

The Roots Concert’s tonal balance begins with a solid Sitka spruce top, chosen for its clarity, responsiveness and ability to perform evenly across a wide dynamic range. Honduran mahogany back and sides add warmth and focus, shaping a sound with articulate highs, supportive lows and a smooth midrange that sits comfortably in a mix. Breedlove’s sound-optimized X-bracing and hand-voiced design enhance resonance and projection without overpowering any frequency range. The Concert body shape strikes a practical balance, offering sufficient volume for performance while retaining control and nuance for more intimate settings.

Soft C Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Comfortable Playability

The Honduran mahogany neck is carved to Breedlove’s Soft C profile, delivering a slightly fuller feel that remains comfortable during extended playing sessions. A semi-gloss finish supports smooth hand movement, while the African ebony fingerboard provides a stable, responsive surface with clear articulation across all 20 frets. Combined with the 25.5" scale length and 1.75" nut width, the neck and fingerboard offer a familiar, adaptable feel that accommodates fingerstyle playing, steady rhythm work and dynamic strumming.

LR Baggs HiFi Electronics for Clear, Reliable Amplified Performance

Equipped with LR Baggs HiFi electronics, the Roots Concert delivers an amplified sound that remains true to its acoustic voice. The non-invasive dual bridge plate sensor design captures both string energy and top movement, producing a balanced, natural amplified tone with strong dynamic response. A lightweight onboard preamp provides ample headroom and dependable feedback resistance, making the system well suited for live performance, rehearsal and direct recording. The result is a consistent, plug-and-play amplified sound that allows players to focus on performance.

Pinless Ebony Bridge and Practical Appointments for Everyday Use

The Roots Concert features refined, functional appointments designed for real-world reliability. A pinless African ebony bridge allows for quick string changes while maintaining accurate intonation and efficient tone transfer. A bone nut and saddle enhance sustain and clarity, while a koa rosette, centered dot fingerboard inlays and satin edgeburst finish add subtle visual character. Breedlove nickel tuners provide smooth, dependable tuning stability, and Elixir Phosphor Bronze light-gauge strings deliver consistent tone straight out of the case. A deluxe brown hardshell case completes the package for secure transport and storage.
