Description
Breedlove Premier Concert Burnt Amber CE Adirondack Spruce-East Indian Rosewood Guitar
The Premier Concert Burnt Amber CE delivers explosive dynamic range and clarity that cuts through any mix. Its Adirondack spruce top projects with remarkable headroom and power, while the East Indian rosewood back and sides anchor the tone with round bass and extended sustain. The Concert body shape—Breedlove's most versatile platform—balances comfort and resonance for both fingerstyle and flatpicking, finished in a striking Burnt Amber gloss with built-in LR Baggs EAS VTC electronics for seamless integration into your recording setup.
Tone & Recording Performance
Built from solid Adirondack spruce paired with solid East Indian rosewood, this guitar channels pre-war tonal profiles prized for their clarity and dynamic projection—essential qualities for capturing definition in multitrack sessions. The Honduran mahogany neck, African ebony fretboard, and Delta bridge with pinless design maximize resonance and sustain, while Breedlove's hand-voicing process individually tunes each top and back for optimized output. The LR Baggs EAS VTC pickup captures your instrument's natural character without coloration, translating acoustic detail directly into your interface with minimal processing overhead.
Playability & Studio Versatility
A 25.5" scale length with 20 frets and 1.75" nut width provides a responsive, stable platform suited to diverse tracking sessions and arrangement approaches. The soft cutaway design and 3.75" to 4.5" body depth deliver excellent ergonomics during extended recording takes, while Breedlove nickel tuners and D'Addario XS PB Light strings ensure reliable tuning stability across takes and session switches.
