Eco Collection: a responsible approach serving Breedlove's sound
This Pursuit Exotic S is part of Breedlove's Eco Collection, a range designed to combine respect for forest resources with musical excellence. The idea is simple: offer a modern acoustic guitar with a strong design, featuring lutherie choices aimed at a vibrant and expressive sound, while maintaining a more responsible approach in wood selection. The result: a 12-string with a strong character, both warm and bright, that preserves the brand's visual and sonic DNA.
For which guitarists and styles?
With its 12 strings, wide nut, and natural projection, this guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced players (or highly motivated beginners) seeking that famous acoustic "chorus" effect. It excels in folk, pop, acoustic rock, vocal accompaniment, shimmering arpeggios, and broad rhythmic patterns. The cutaway is a real advantage for melodic lines and voicings higher up the neck.
Sound
Myrtlewood gives a very distinctive identity: a clear attack, strong presence in the upper spectrum, and a sense of breadth ideal for a 12-string, without losing note clarity. The solid top adds more dynamics and responsiveness to nuances, while the myrtlewood back and sides enhance tonal coherence and projection. The Concert format balances comfort and precision: perfect for detailed arpeggios, with generous sustain and harmonics that naturally "float."
Plugged in, the Fishman Presys I electronics deliver a usable and clear sound, designed to easily transition from soft fingerstyle playing to more forceful rhythm. Ideal for stage, amplified rehearsals, or direct recording, while preserving the acoustic grain of the instrument.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of this 12-string, plan for a 12-string acoustic string set (regular replacement to maintain brightness and tuning), a tuner (highly recommended for a 12-string), and a set of picks in various thicknesses to vary attack. A microfiber cloth will help preserve the "Amber" finish daily.
