Breedlove has announced an extensive new range of Organic Pro acoustic guitars.
Overall, the 15-strong collection aims to take lessons learned – not to mention premium features – from the Oregon company's Custom Shop builds, and bring them to players with smaller budgets.
Sonically, all 15 guitars are uniformly outfitted with the company's Cascade bracing system, and Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics.
The Organic Pro collection itself can be broken down further into four smaller sub-collections – the Wildwood, Solo, Performer and Artista lines.
We'll give you a brief tour of each of them below.
Wildwood Pro
Comprised of Companion, Concert, Concertina and Concerto models, the Wildwood Pro line is the most affordable of the lot.
All four models feature African mahogany tops, backs and sides, natural suede finishes and black binding.
Each of the Breedlove Organic Pro Wildwood models rings up at $999.
Solo Pro
The Solo Pro is the most diverse line in the Organic Pro collection, featuring a steel-string Concert model, a nylon-string design, a 12-string guitar, and a four-string acoustic bass guitar.
Each Solo Pro model also comes with an African mahogany back and sides, plus a Red Cedar top. A sidemonitor soundhole, meanwhile, joins the Fishman electronics set.
The Solo Pro Series Concert Edgeburst CE retails for $1,149, with the nylon and 12-string models coming in at $1,199, and the bass ringing up at $1,249.
Performer Pro
The Performer Line features Concert, Concert Thinline, Concertina and Concerto models.
These, in turn, are outfitted with an aged, all-gloss toner finish, brass inlays, and an Ovangkol fretboard and bridge. The Performer Pros also come with African mahogany backs and sides, and European spruce tops.
Each of the Performer Pros can be had for $1,149, with the exception of the Concerto model, which goes for $1,199.
Artista Pro
Finally, there's the Artista Pro line, which comprises Concertina, Concert and Concerto guitars.
Unlike their Organic Pro siblings, these guitars have Myrtlewood backs and sides, rather than African mahogany, with European spruce tops. They also each feature a Burnt Amber Burst finish, Ovangkol fretboard and bridge, and brass inlays.
The Artista Pro Concertina and Concert models have a price of $1,249, while the Concerto model retails for $1,299.
Each Breedlove Organic Pro collection model comes with a hardshell case, but for the Wildwood line models, which each come with a gig bag.
