A Legacy at the Crossroads of Tradition and Breedlove Innovation
The Legacy Concertina CE embodies Breedlove's approach: an identifiable design, modern ergonomics, and an advanced sound research. Within the range, it positions itself as a refined electro-acoustic where every choice of materials and embellishments aims to serve the musician's playing, with a decidedly premium level of finish.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
Thanks to its Concertina format and wide nut, this Breedlove targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive, comfortable, and precise acoustic. It excels in fingerstyle, modern folk, delicate accompaniment, but can also handle energetic strumming without losing definition. The cutaway makes it a natural ally for arrangements with melodies in the high register.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Adirondack spruce top is renowned for its dynamic range: crisp attack, excellent pick response, and great clarity when played loudly. The solid cocobolo back and sides provide a rich tonal signature, with deep lows, bright highs, and generous sustain, while maintaining clear note separation. The Concertina format promotes a fast response and ideal balance for fingerstyle playing, with precise projection. Plugged in, the Anthem TRU-Mic combines an internal microphone and a sensor to reproduce the acoustic grain naturally, minimizing the harsh "piezo" attack effect.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original setup, opt for a set of light gauge phosphor bronze acoustic strings, such as the D'Addario XT PB Light strings factory-installed.
