Breedlove Rainforest S Concert Black Gold CE African mahogany-African mahogany

Breedlove’s new ECO Collection Rainforest S Series of affordably priced guitars honors the sounds of the magnificent, mysterious Congo River Basin – the caws of colorful birds and calls of the chimpanzee.

Standing behind their company ethos, Breedlove has brought to fruition their ECO Collection! This Breedlove Rainforest S Concert Black Gold CE guitar is packed full of tone, stunning looks, planet-saving methods and exceeds even the highest of tonal, ecological and beauty standards.

Featuring Breedlove’s earth-conscious, sonically superior EcoTonewood technology, which is made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods – saving the earth one guitar at a time! With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African Mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture. Coupled with Breedlove’s deep research into revolutionary body shapes; building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound of each guitar in the ECO Collection. And, Breedlove creates these better sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price-point.

Comfortable for a plethora of players, the slim-necked, solid-topped all-African Mahogany Concert body matches trademark Breedlove comfort and versatility with the warm midrange focus favored by songwriters, roots rockers and folkies alike.

Appointments include a 20 fret Ovangkol fretboard with a 25.3″ scale and a 1.69″ nut width, which allows for easily switching between finger, picking, strumming and hybrid styles in a swift manner. In addition, a stylish soft cutaway lets you reach every fret, and a mesmerizing Black Gold finish that puts all the colorful beauty of the rainforest right into your hands.

No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments; rather, Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As Breedlove moves toward 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.

Equipped with a Fishman Presys preamp and pickup system, allowing a player to travel from the bedroom to the stages of the world or to the studio with ease – simply plug in, dial up the right tone and play. Fishman’s Presys I side mounted Preamp System provides supreme sound quality with easy access and usability. This preamps features Volume, Tone Shaping, and Phase controls; a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup and low profile control knobs.
