****** Authorized Breedlove Dealer *******
Here we have a new B-Stock Breedlove Organic Series Performer Concertina CE acoustic electric guitar.  Bourbon Gloss finish. 2021 model. This guitar features a Concertina body shape so it is a littler smaller. A very easy guitar to get comfortable with.  It sits perfectly in your lap. This guitar is made from African Mahogany with a torrefied European Spruce top and is absolutely beautiful.  African Ebony fingerboard, Breedlove’s Natural Sound pickup system, and Gold tuners with wooden tuner buttons.  Very nicely appointed guitar.  This guitar is a B-stock as it has a factory finish blem on some of the binding.  It is hardly noticeable and does not affect the guitars playability whatsoever.  Truly a minor blemish and otherwise perfect!  Priced accordingly and ready for a new home.  Thanks for looking and happy buying!

PERFORMER CONCERTINA BOURBON CE

Everything you want from the Performer Series in a small, strong package. With 12 frets to the body, the Performer Concertina Bourbon CE offers you unique tone, with the bridge sitting right on the torrefied European spruce top’s sweet spot. A short scale and soft cutaway open up every fret, whether bending the blues, shaking a wicked vibrato or simply singing your favorite song from Spotify. Working musicians love the Performer’s killer combination of “aged” tone, smart looks and Natural Sound electronics, and so will you. Play better, sound better, play more, with the Performer Concertina Bourbon CE.

FEATURES

Sustainable & Clear Cut Free

Made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As we move towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest and the planet.

AFRICAN MAHOGANY

Sometimes called khaya, African mahogany has a familiar crisp, clean and warm voice and boasts an impressive versatility, taking well to fingerpicking as well as to a more robust strumming attack without losing clarity. All mahogany instruments—like the Organic Collection Wildwood Series (which features sustainably harvested wood source from the Republic of Congo) offer a natural compression that delights blues players, folkies and singer/songwriters.

CONCERTINA BODY SHAPE

Breedlove’s small body guitar, delivering a surprisingly clear, crisp, loud sound. It’s 12-frets to the body design make it a joy to play. Extensive Sound Optimization™ engineering has resulted in a body shape that has a bigger sound and is more comfortable to play than a traditional parlor.

REAL SOLID TONEWOODS FOR SUPERIOR SOUND

No Richlite or resin impregnated softwoods, no glue-heavy plywoods: just solid real tonewoods for real tone.

NATURAL SOUND ELECTRONICS

New Breedlove Natural-Sound electronics with volume and tone controls, and easy battery replacement uses 2 x AAA batteries.
