Breedlove Premier Concert Shadowburst CE Figured Red Cedar–Figured East Indian Rosewood Guitar
This limited edition Concert sits perfectly balanced between your body and arm, with its ergonomic proportions equally at home for fingerstyle work or strumming. The figured red cedar top delivers immediate responsiveness and warmth, while the figured East Indian rosewood back and sides provide deep, articulate bass with crystalline treble clarity. Hand-voiced by Breedlove luthiers in Bend, Oregon, this rare instrument—one of only 20 pieces produced—combines stunning visual presence with professional-grade acoustic and amplified performance ready for any stage or studio session.
Tone & Resonance
The figured red cedar top brings articulate warmth and lush harmonic complexity, favored by fingerstylists for its responsive character and sweet sustain. 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 that cuts through in live settings. Breedlove's Sound Optimization® hand-voicing process ensures each instrument achieves perfect resonance and tonal balance individually, so your touch and technique shine through.
Build & Hardware
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. The Gotoh 510 gold tuners with ebony buttons deliver precise, stable tuning that holds solid through long sets and rapid position changes, while tortoise binding and interlocking diamond inlays complete the premium aesthetic. Stage amplification is handled by the LR Baggs Anthem TRU-Mic pickup, capturing natural acoustic tone with clarity and presence that translates faithfully through any system.
