Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concert Nylon CE Acoustic Electric Guitar Red Cedar Myrtlewood

Fans of nylon string guitars know that the lower tension and supple feel of filament versus steel allows for an exciting array of explorations and emotions. If you haven’t tried nylon, you don’t know what you’re missing, whether as a primary instrument or as an additional flavor in your personal musical stew. Part of Breedlove’s sustainable ECO Collection, the tortoise bound Pursuit Exotic S Concert Nylon offers exquisite tone and easy playability, with the classic “classical” sound of solid western red cedar supported by the full range of myrtlewood. Appointments, in addition to exacting Fishman Presys I electronics, include a slotted Asymmetrical headstock and sleek, easy-playing, satin finish African mahogany neck with soft cutaway access to every expressive fret.

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.

THE CONCERT BODY SHAPE

• The Concert is our most popular body shape, favored by players because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.

BREEDLOVE PINLESS BRIDGE

• Breedlove’s pinless Delta bridge is a distinctive element, alright, with a sleek, modern contour that adds an extra bit of unexpected beauty to every instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcome functionality while anchoring great sound. Beginners love the fact that string changes are much easier without having to wrestle a traditional pin bridge. Pros love it for the same reason! No more looking for lost pins during a fast backstage string swap. And its low profile makes for perfect right hand damping.
