Breedlove Premier Concert Shadowburst CE Figured Red Cedar-Figured Ros

Breedlove Premier Concert Shadowburst CE Figured Red Cedar–Figured East Indian Rosewood Guitar

This limited edition Concert delivers a perfectly balanced, ergonomic platform for both fingerstyle and strummed session work. The figured red cedar top responds with immediate articulation and warmth, ideal for capturing detailed finger techniques and dynamic playing into your DAW. Paired with figured East Indian rosewood back and sides, it produces deep, articulate bass with crystalline treble clarity—assets that translate directly to professional mixing and layering. Hand-voiced by Breedlove luthiers in Bend, Oregon, this rare instrument—one of only 20 pieces produced—combines stunning visual character with the acoustic and amplified performance necessary for serious recording applications.

Tone & Resonance for Recording

The figured red cedar top offers articulate warmth and lush harmonic complexity, particularly valuable when recording fingerstyle passages that need to retain clarity and presence in a dense mix. Paired with figured East Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar produces a classic scooped profile: round, deep bass response combined with sparkling, clear trebles and exceptional dynamic range—a tonal character that sits naturally in stereo tracks without requiring aggressive EQ. Breedlove's Sound Optimization® hand-voicing process ensures each instrument achieves perfect resonance and tonal balance individually, so your recordings capture the guitar's full harmonic spectrum without dead spots or frequency issues.

Build & Electronics for Studio Work

Construction centers on a Honduras mahogany neck with African ebony fingerboard and distinctive spalted maple River of Life inlay, paired with a Delta bridge in African ebony for superior string coupling and sustain—both critical for consistent recorded tone. The Gotoh 510 gold tuners with ebony buttons deliver precise, stable tuning throughout your session, minimizing retuning downtime between takes. Tortoise binding and interlocking diamond inlays provide visual distinction for on-camera use. The LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic pickup captures the instrument's natural acoustic tone with clarity and presence, making this guitar equally ready for direct DI recording or microphone blending techniques in the mix.
