Up for sale, a 2010s Breedlove Custom Concerto CE in near-mint condition, complete with a softshell case. Hand-crafted in Bend, Oregon, this rare iteration of the Concerto CE boasts an uncommon tonewood combination comprised of a scalloped X-braced myrtlewood top with herringbone rosette and purfling, myrtlewood back and sides, and a myrtlewood neck capped by an ebony fingerboard, outfitted with an L.R. Baggs Lyric microphone.

Weighing 4lbs 9oz, this guitar has a dynamically rich and responsive low end, harmonically charged with complex midrange content and a sparkling, present top. The all-myrtlewood construction offers a strong fundamental with a full and balanced sound that’s neither too bright nor too dark, and the ebony fingerboard provides additional glassy note detail with excellent string-to-string definition.

The Concert body size is particularly well-balanced, ideal for a wide array of applications, and the L.R. Baggs Lyric microphone system features patent pending proprietary technology. Mounted on the bridge plate, the Lyric yields the feedback-fighting power of a piezo with the sound quality of a studio microphone for an ideal blend of fidelity and stability, faithfully capturing the natural acoustic properties of the instrument with an active preamp. This Custom Concerto CE has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
