True Tonewood Beauty - Breedlove Organic Artista Pro Concerto CE Acoustic in Burnt Amber

[@shawnadams1693]

Yes!! Please sing all guitar specs in the future. Excellent idea for Shorts.

[@StevenBrener]

Have a Breedlove - rich, full sound. Wonderful guitar, very well made and beautiful to look at.

[@landonbailey]

Nice!

[@Impractical_Engineer]

A wood guitar has tone wood, a carbon fiber guitar has tone carbon. Glad thats settled.

[@landonbailey]

When you buy a Carbon Fiber guitar do you pay a carbon tax?

[@drtm1718]

Why would you pay a carbon tax? You should get a tax credit instead. You're taking carbon out of the environment and putting it in your home. 🤔

[@Shiznitt_]

Technically, wood is 50% carbon..

[@gregmock6808]

@@landonbailey Not when you buy it but after you play it and take it home the taxman will knock on your basement door...just ignore him

Btw it’s usually the strings. When they are brand new, it tends to leave some oxidation on your moist fingers. As the strings turn from bright and shiny to darker and duller, you’ll usually see much less tarnish left in your fingers because once the metal is evenly tarnished, there will be little to no oxidation reaction with your skin. This absolutely happens with coated strings, as well as a variety of metals. I also use D’addario XT or XS. The same thing happens with a coated string, although it deteriorates much slower and than an uncoated string. As the coating wears towards the end of its playing life before they need changing, you may see more black junk coming off again. I just slapped on a new set of acoustic Phosphor Bronze XT’s. After 1-1.5 weeks, it stopped leaving the marks. Usually, I use them for 2-3 months (they last up to 3 months in drier NYC seasons, summer humidity reduced it to about two months) and tend to see some light marks on my fingers again around 1-2 weeks before they sound totally dead and get too hard to play. It can happen from the fret wire too, but the marks always are right where the strings marks are in your skin after playing. If it was the fret wire, it would leave a horizontal smears. We rarely actually touch the fret wire while playing anyway. If it happens, it’s usually while cleaning the garnish off during a string change. If a fretboard is poorly stained, it is possible for dark marks to come off on your fingers. I’ve personally never seen that happen to me or anyone I know. It would also look more like dirt smears than perfectly dark in your finger string grooves lol. Natural wood that isn’t not stained won’t do that. Maybe you need to test this age old debate! Do a search online and you’ll see all kinds of theories about the black marks lol.

Sounds significantly better through the mics vs the pickup.

[@gregmock6808]

Those are made in Bend Oregon I believe which is a few hours drive from my place...my daughter in law has a Breedlove acoustic

[@vrcimino1250]

The upper end are made in Bend and the others are made in China.

[@gregmock6808]

@@vrcimino1250 I've never seen a Chinese made one...my son and daughter in law have two of them and they were made in Bend. No doubt they farm out some ..my in laws live in Bend and I've tried the guitars they make there. I'm interested in their nylon string guitar

[@solaris70]

8:26 - 8:36 is a good riff i would keep that maybe use it for the chorus or a bridge for your chord progression song you shared and explained in this video

[@thseed7]

Breedlove makes really good modern acoustics.

[@jeffanderson8384]

I absolutely LOVE my Breedlove 12! Easy to play, great sounding and the string thru bridge simplifies string changes. They also do a truss system for the bridge that minimizes the adverse effects of string tension on the guitar top.

[@methefather]

That's an awesome sounding guitar and you have a great voice! Thanks for this demo

[@landonbailey]

Thank you kindly!

[@christopherfidler3019]

we have Breedlove dealers in Ontario. you should give Orangewood guitars a try.

[@spencerfreed6947]

External mic definitely sounded better but it really sounded great buddy!! Thanks for the demo!!

[@norseman61]

Beautiful guitar and nice song you’ve got started there. I usually decide what I’m going to play by which string I accidentally hit when I pick up my guitar. No joke. Or, I just pluck a string and my direction is set. And as I progress through each episode of dabbling, I’m reminded of the fact that all is right with the world and I still suck. But I’m having fun!

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. WOW. Stunning Guitar and Playing. That woodgrain is insane, so beautiful as is the Song. Cheers

[@landonbailey]

Glad you like it!

[@tmeyer2022]

Bought an Alvarez earlier this year - couldn't find a Breedlove locally.

[@Sammywhat]

I had a hard time telling which was more beautiful, you or the guitar.

[@quantumeseboy]

I like Breedlove guitars, I do not like their recent finishes. Is it iodine burst?

[@blues3531]

You can really sing. First noticed it in your "Nice Dream" cover.

[@MashaT22]

I’ve never played a Breedlove personally, but I’ve never heard one that didn’t sound stellar. I hope you’ll keep working on that song - it should be about a dude who got a Breedlove while playing the very Breedlove that inspired the song! 😂😂😂 P.S. You actually prepare for these videos?! I’ll be damned.

[@raoulduke344]

I don't think anyone disputes the fact that acoustics' wood shapes its tone. When it comes to electric guitars, though, tonewood is a placebo.

[@landonbailey]

There’s always someone! 😝👍🎸

[@raoulduke344]

@landonbailey an unfortunately there's always countless idiots claiming that wood can affect the sound of an electric instrument.

[@lukesteverything627]

I've got a Tonewood tree is my garden that I planted last year. In 200 years it will be big enough to cut down and I mark off each day in my calendar. We'll see if Tonewood is real or if I just imagined the tree. I'll keep you updated!

[@landonbailey]

I would probably collect the leaves and make tone soup each fall

[@lukesteverything627]

Like your thinking put I sell them to my Panda. I need an idea for Tone poo.

[@maxwellbowden9961]

Yes, tone wood comes from the tone tree, Tonus Vibratio

you do not have a great voice (being Canadian) but you sound tonally solid

Love the tone & color, but the name has to have been designed by Wendy from China

[@landonbailey]

Breedlove Guitars was established In 1990 by California luthiers Larry Breedlove and Steve Henderson, who left their jobs at Taylor Guitars to create what would become Breedlove Guitars.

[@joelgraham3]

just play - don't sing - we wanted to hear this guitar - we got jokes and singing

[@landonbailey]

Just leave

[@HailRider]

I had a Breedlove but I had to sell it to pay bills after my company closed down.. thanks to biden and the democrats for a crap economy... Maybe one day I will get another when / if things improve. I miss it. It was my main accoustic and the other accoustic isn't worth much.
