The ECO Collection represents Breedlove’s most accessible line of acoustic guitars, all crafted with trademark Breedlove design DNA. All models use layered EcoTonewood and benefit from Cascade Bracing for Custom Shop sound.
Two values drive Breedlove—protecting the world’s forests and maximizing acoustic guitar sound. Breedlove’s ECO Collection addresses both. Breedlove has developed a process to integrate three layers of tonewood —sustainably harvested from forests visited by Breedlove owner Tom Bedell—avoiding the soft center core that dampens sound on other laminates.
The ECO Collection is ushering in a new era in six-string history. With the Breedlove ECO Collection, for the first time, you can play an environmentally friendly, solid top guitar with vibrant, renewable, sound enhancing EcoTonewood back and sides.
New Breedlove Designed in Bend Discovery S, Pursuit Exotic S and all-African mahogany Rainforest S models will feature this fully sustainable integrated tonewood technology. Now, great, affordable, natural sound can be good to the earth, too. No clear-cut wood is used in any new Breedlove guitar Breedlove EcoTonewood—it’s where music meets the trees.
With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture.
Coupled with Breedlove’s deep research into revolutionary body shapes; building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound of each guitar in the ECO Collection. And, Breedlove creates these better sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price-point. Breedlove EcoTonewood—it’s where music meets the trees.
