“USA CONCERT
DAY LIGHT E”
ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Review By Dave Celentano
STREET PRICE (MAP): $1,599
A
25-year history of making
top-shelf acoustic guitars
establishes Breedlove as a
leader in the respective market, leaving
most competitors in the dust. Their
brand comes up frequently in related
conversation circles and rightfully
so – innovative designs, superlative
craftsmanship, and great tone puts
Breedlove’s name in the discussion hat.
Hot from their Bend, Oregon factory, the
newest model, USA Concert Day Light E,
is poised to strike a chord or two (pun
intended!) in the acoustic world. But
there’s more here than meets the eye. A
streamlined design places the emphasis
on world-class build quality and amazing
tone, rather than visual aesthetics.
Simple in appearance, robust in tone, and
versatile, USA Concert Day Light E is for
the player who wants to make a musical
statement rather than simply “check out
my cool-looking guitar.”
