The limited-edition series features all four of Breedlove’s advanced body shapes: the travel-sized Companion, the small-bodied Concertina, the fan-favorite Concert, and the dreadnought-esque Concerto. Aside from their body shapes, each guitar is identical from head to toe. You’ll enjoy stunning hand-selected tonewoods, fine inlays, and other bespoke accents that you can only find here at Sweetwater. Indeed, after taking each Draco Series guitar for a test spin, we were surprised by how different they all sounded!Concertina: a fingerstyle player’s dream The Concertina is Breedlove’s take on the parlor guitar. It’s the second smallest guitar the company makes, too. Players love the Concertina for its comfortable, compact dimensions and articulate tone. A 25-inch scale length provides a welcoming playing experience, just like the parlor guitars of generations past. Pluck a few notes, and the Draco Concertina C will deliver a richer and fuller sound than you’d expect from a guitar of this size. The Draco Series Concertina C’s body shape makes it the perfect partner for fingerstyle, folk, and making music at home.Stunning tonewoods Each Draco acoustic guitar is built from the same materials — solid sinker redwood over solid Indian rosewood back and sides. The sinker redwood used on these guitars was once submerged in the lakes and rivers of California. That oxygen-free environment makes the redwood lighter and stiffer, allowing the guitar top to sing out with a clear, detailed, and powerful voice. Pairing those tonal attributes with the power and poise of rosewood is a true stroke of genius. The finished guitar delivers an impressively deep tone with a timeless treble sheen. What’s more, each tonewood on this guitar was hand-selected for beauty and the utmost quality.Bespoke appointments customized by Sweetwater Your new Draco Series guitar features numerous custom-spec’d appointments that provide extra comfort and next-level visuals. First, the genuine Honduran mahogany neck features a narrower 1-11/16-inch nut that harkens back to the vintage acoustics produced in Kalamazoo. Next, the ebony fingerboard is loaded with EVO Gold frets, Mosaic fretboard inlays, and eye-catching Red Dino dots. The Red Dino inlays complement the fiery rosette and the old-style Breedlove “B” logo on the headstock. Bloodwood binding and gold hardware tie together the striking visuals.Forward-thinking Sound Optimization process Every Made in Bend Breedlove guitar benefits from the company’s proprietary Sound Optimization process. Sound Optimization is a data-driven process that accounts for the inherent variability in natural tonewoods and ensures every guitar performs to its full potential. So how does it work? First, Breedlove sands each tonewood to a desired weight (most guitar companies sand to a uniform thickness). Once the braces are glued in, the company’s luthiers use soft mallets, microphones, and specialized software to analyze the top and back frequency response. They then voice the braces by hand and constantly re-measure the frequency response to ensure the top and back resonate to pre-determined target frequencies. Breedlove’s groundbreaking combination of data-backed technology with the art of lutherie ensures that their instruments sound unlike any other. The guitar comes alive the second you pluck your first note. Each Sound Optimized guitar offers a vast dynamic range with striking note separation and clarity. Plus, the sustain is out of this world. Breedlove believes in their Sound Optimization technology so much that no instrument leaves their Oregon workshop until it performs to its full potential — even if that means carving on the bracing through the soundhole. With a Sound Optimized Breedlove guitar, you’ll experience a level of performance and sonic consistency that you can’t find anywhere else. Still on the fence? Just wait until you play one.Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused a lot of their efforts on reducing their impact on the planet without compromising the quality of their instruments. Their radical approach to sustainability led them to create their Tonewood Certification Program and commit to visit each location where their timber is harvested to ensure that their sustainability standards are met. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including top-loading bridges, custom voicings, and unique neck profiles. From the Discovery to the Legacy, each and every Breedlove is made with an uncompromising dedication to quality sound, flawless workmanship, and environmental sustainability. Buying a Breedlove is much more than purchasing a top-notch acoustic guitar — it’s buying a guitar that you can feel good about.Breedlove Draco Series Concertina C Acoustic Guitar Features: Concertina body shape is the perfect platform for fingerstyle playing Part of a suite of custom guitars celebrating Breedlove’s first USA-made Companion guitar Sinker redwood top delivers clear and powerful projection East Indian rosewood back and sides provide a warm and resonant tonal foundation Honduran mahogany neck and 1-11/16-inch nut width provide a familiar feel Proprietary Sound Optimization coaxes the best out of each tonewood X-bracing ensures sonic consistency between guitars Pinless Delta bridge makes string changes a walk in the park Custom Red Dino/brass inlays and bloodwood binding offer striking visuals SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Concertina Back & Sides Wood East Indian Rosewood Top Wood Dark Sinker Redwood Top Finish Gloss Color Natural Body Bracing Sound Optimized X-bracing Binding Bloodwood Neck Wood Honduran Mahogany Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay 'Red Dino' Dots, 12th fret Mosaic Pins Number of Frets 18, EVO Gold Scale Length 25" Nut Width 1.6875" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Bone Bridge Material Ebony Tuning Machines Gotoh 510 Gold Strings D'Addario XT Coated Light, .012-.053 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
