Breedlove Discovery S Concert Nylon CE Acoustic-Electric Guitar, African Mahogany, Red Cedar

Manufacturer's Description

Discovery S Concert Nylon CE

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 flatpick, wielded with grace on nylon strings, can reveal unexpected pleasures as well! 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.

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.

We are pleased to present these very detailed specifications for your 2021 Breedlove acoustic guitar, which was Designed in Bend. In addition to dimensions, we have listed the tonewoods used in this model: its common name, scientific name, and country where the tree grew. We use no clear-cut wood. We either salvage dead trees or individually harvest to minimize the impact on the forest. You can travel globally with your Breedlove worry free. No permits are needed. That said, it might be helpful to have this information on hand if you are traveling internationally. We suggest printing out this information and carrying it with your guitar to avoid any misunderstanding or timely waits with border customs officials.
