Breedlove's Pursuit Exotic S Series Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a part of their ECO Collection. ECO is designed to both protect the world's forests and maximize acoustic sound. The Pursuit Exotic S Series allows you to affordably experience the pure, nuanced sound and striking beauty of exotic myrtlewood.
It also offers scalloped bracing, which gives you a nuanced tonal palette typically found only on custom instruments. Side-mounted Fishman Presys (with built-in tuner, volume, contour and phase controls) make amplification a breeze.
The Pursuit Exotic S Series is compact and comfortable to play while offering all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It allows for a wonderfully articulate range of tone with ample low end that is never boomy, but always present.
Gretchen begins her demo by playing "Never Going Back Again" by Fleetwood Mac and the guitar’s warm, full-bodied sound and rich harmonic resonance are immediately striking.

Later into the video, Menn notes "They've worked really hard to develop a process that integrates 3 layers of tonewood, all sustainably harvested". The guitar also features a mahogany neck with a soft-c profile, an ovangkol fingerboard and bridge, as well as myrtlewood back and sides.
"The myrtle wood has a lovely balance of warmth and highs, providing a wide sonic palette and good versatility". Based off of Menn's lovely demo, we can absolutely agree. She then goes on to demonstrate the sound of the Fishman pickups with some added reverb, which provides stark clarity between each string with no unwanted harshness in the pick attack.
"Additional standout features to me are the comfort; it has that nice slim neck and very comfortable cutaway. And honestly? if a guitar doesn't feel good on my lap and in my hands, I'm probably not going to reach for it that often."
"Somehow breedlove has come up with a really high quality instrument at a very guitarist friendly price point, i think it would be great for beginners and professionals alike." If you want to check out the Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Series yourself, click here
