A connoisseur’s guitar, at an astonishingly affordable price. While the Artista series sits at the top of the Organic Pro line, it remains within reach, especially the Concertina. A short scale European maple neck joins the all-solid Oregon myrtlewood body and European spruce top at the twelfth fret, offering a combination of easy playability, expressive tone, and visual beauty. Small body guitars—long treasured by serious players—are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people discover the size and depth of sound that can come from a comfortable instrument. The Artista Pro Concertina Burnt Amber CE—with its arresting burnt amber burst finish on both the soundboard and up the back of the neck—is an investment in joy. Experience the Breedlove difference at its finest!
Features
Sustainable & Clear Cut Free
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.

Cascade Bracing for Custom Shop Sound
Conceived in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain Range, Breedlove’s Cascade Bracing delivers pinnacle acoustic soundand American ingenuity in guitars for everyone.
Every USA made Breedlove guitar gets hand-voiced by one of our builders in Bend, Oregon. These craftspeople achieve sonic perfection by meticulously shaping each instrument’s internal bracing. But, we’re not just artists and artisans, we’re guitar geeks. We keep meticulous records—every refinement, every change, every delicate curl of wood off the chisel gets logged in our database.
We used all that combined knowledge and experience to answer a simple question: “How can we make our accessible, production guitars sound even closer to the showpieces from our Custom Shop?” The answer? Cascade Bracing.
